2023 Development Yearbook

View Development Yearbook Online

The Downtown Development District works to initiate, incubate, and support partnerships that develop and enhance the district, using community-driven master plans and economic incentives to aid private-sector and nonprofit philanthropic organizations in their development and entrepreneurship efforts. These partnerships are key to continuing the momentum and excitement we have for the future of Downtown.

In 2023, we completed a 5-year strategic plan under the leadership of the new Executive Director, Whitney Hoffman Sayal, AICP. It will guide the priorities of the office and the formation of new and continued partnerships with a shared interest in downtown. We also released our 2023 Downtown Development Toolkit, highlighting downtown’s positive trends and data including the rise in residential, as well as high occupancy rates in both offices and hotels.

The 2023 Yearbook features developments over the past year, provides a snapshot of data and statistics, highlights projects in the pipeline, and features a list of acknowledgments and recognition. In addition, this document showcases the Downtown Development District’s projects, events, and initiatives driving the next phase of development.
