Developer pitches PD 96 concept in Missouri City: hospital, event center and mixed-use on former Parkway Crossing acreage
Summary
Property owner Joel Scott and JLL healthcare lead Tim Gregory presented a concept for PD 96 (about 115 acres) at Lake Olympia Parkway and the Fort Bend Tollway that would include a medical campus/hospital, event center, hotel, retail and multifamily housing; speakers said access improvements (a relocated tollway off-ramp and service road) and existing detention facilities make the site attractive to health systems.
Developer Joel Scott and Tim Gregory of JLL presented a long‑range mixed-use concept for Planned Development District 96, a roughly 115‑acre property at Lake Olympia Parkway and the Fort Bend Tollway that the presenters said could support a medical campus, hotel, event center, retail and multifamily housing.
Scott said the development team originally acquired about 465 acres in the area and has been advancing the Parkway Crossing concept for years; the remaining mixed‑use portion (PD 96) includes roughly 42 acres of frontage on the Fort Bend Tollway inside municipal management districts. "We acquired about 465 acres of land here back in 2015," Scott said, describing prior sales, a donated site for Missouri City Fire Station No. 6 and ongoing phase work. Scott and Tim Gregory said the project has been positioned to benefit from a planned relocation of an off‑ramp on the Fort Bend Tollway that would create a new service road and three points of access to the corridor.
Tim Gregory, who described the site as a strong healthcare location based on demographic and access analysis, told the council that private and national provider interest is increasing. "I said, Joel, this checks Missouri City and the demand as far as just the population," Gregory said, adding that a key market metric is an insured population figure the team estimates at about 63 percent.
Council members emphasized the site's importance and urged staff and the developer to preserve the long‑range vision. Questions focused on infrastructure sequencing — particularly tollway access and the county‑funded Lake Olympia Parkway extension — parking and the potential size of an event center and hotel. The developer estimated an event center in the range of tens of thousands of square feet that could serve 600–800 occupants and suggested a 150‑room hotel could be viable subject to a market study.
Staff said no formal application had been filed for new entitlements and that any future development would follow the standard Planning & Zoning and City Council approval process. City staff also noted the city would need to coordinate with the Fort Bend Toll Road Authority and continue utility‑capacity planning before the project could move forward.
Ending: The presentation was conceptual; staff and the development team will continue coordination and bring any formal applications to Planning & Zoning and City Council for review.
