Bob Pfefferle, local managing director for Houston-based developer Hines, is leading the North Loop Green project, a huge mixed-use development right next to Target Field, set to open in 2024. Between two buildings, North Loop Green includes office space, already 67% leased, plus residential market-rate units, short-term rentals, food, and retail offerings, plus “the Green,” a one-acre green space. “It was all just surface parking before, so all of it’s additive to tax base,” Pfefferle says—“the number of people living in the neighborhood, people working in the neighborhood.”
