Houston Pavilions is a commercial development in Downtown Houston, Texas.

Construction was scheduled to begin in Spring 2006 ^[2], with the first developments opening in the fourth quarter of 2007. The project possesses an estimated cost of 200 million United States dollars and is expected to contain almost 500,000 square feet (50,000 m²) of space, including 350,000 square feet (33,000 m²) of retail space in the first two levels of the development ^[3]. The project will cover three 1.4 acre city blocks. As of November 16, 2006, 50% of the retail space had been leased. Plans to include 200,000 square feet (20,000 m²) of residential space were eliminated by November 2006. Approximately 200,000 square feet of loft office space will be available on the mid-block between Fannin and San Jacinto Streets. Office parking will be provided in the Houston Pavilions garage located on the corner of Main and Polk.

The project is being developed by Texas Real Estate Trust, Inc. and Entertainment Development Group, who also developed the Denver Pavilions in Denver, Colorado. Geoffrey Jones[1] and William Denton served as the co-developers of the project.

To finance the development, developers obtained a construction loan from North Houston Bank, an $8,800,000 development grant for infrastructure improvements from the city of Houston, and $5,500,000 from Harris County.

The Houston Chronicle reported that the Pavilions will provide around 1,800 to 2,000 full- and part-time jobs.
