Reinventing Houston's Footprint

The Developments and Re-Developments Connecting People and Places

Lisa Helfman

Lisa Helfman is the Director of Real Estate for H-E- B Grocery Company and is working on the company’s significant expansion in Houston. Prior to joining H-E- B in 2014, Lisa served as Director of Real Estate Services at Texas Children’s Hospital where she created the Real Estate Services Department in order to centralize the hospital’s real estate operations. Lisa worked at Texas Children’s for seven years after leaving Vinson & Elkins where she represented many urban redevelopment clients, non- profits, and government entities in financings, real estate, and other legal matters. Lisa received her JD Magna Cum Laude from the University of Houston Law Center and her BA Cum Laude from Tulane University. When she isn’t pursuing dynamic sites for H-E- B, she is pushing kale smoothies to children all over underserved communities as the Founder of Brighter Bites. In the fall of 2011, Lisa and her family took part in a weekly fruit and vegetable co-op, and she watched her children’s eating habits transform—for the better. So much so that her little boy rejected a piece of cake at a birthday party, asking instead for the blueberries he’d grown fond of eating at home. Like most moms, Lisa realized this was a fairly significant decision for a six-year- old, and she wondered what kind of influence regular access to fresh produce might have on all children. She was inspired to replicate this type of positive change in underserved communities identified as “food deserts,” or areas where access to grocery stores stocked with fresh produce is sorely limited. Because nutrition education in these communities is often equally lacking, Lisa’s vision was to bring a produce co-op to schools in these neighborhoods that included an educational component. She created a collaborative partnership between the Houston Food Bank and Dr. Shreela Sharma at the University of Texas School of Public Health, and launched the program now known as Brighter Bites. Five years later, Brighter Bites has delivered over 15,000,000 pounds of fresh produce to over 30,000 families at over 100 participating schools in Houston, Dallas, and Austin and is now replicating nationally in NYC, DC and SW Florida.

WHY THIS MATTERS

What You'll Learn:

What high-level trends industry leaders are observing within the market, including topics like (re)development and tenant migration?
Houston was founded on the Buffalo Bayou. How are developers preserving the unique culture and historical roots when developing or re-developing?
The nature of building on a bayou means that nearby areas are prone to flooding. How is this being addressed in new planning and design? Houston, especially areas near the Bayou have historically flooded? How is flooding being considered in the planning and design process?
Between the 150-acre East River development in Fifth Ward and mixed-uses like the 14-acre Autry Park to the west of Buffalo Bayou, the area isn't lacking for new development. What submarkets around the Bayou are most appealing to developers? Where are they seeing opportunity?
How are market leaders thinking outside the box when developing these neighborhoods?
Where are the majority of Bayou-area investments coming from?
What role does mixed-use have in future developments and redevelopments?

How You'll Do More Business:

There would be no Houston without Buffalo Bayou. The area, ripe with green space and some of the best views in the city, is centrally located while being connected to some of Houston's oldest and fastest-growing communities. The past several years along the Bayou have seen massive development in infrastructure, public space, retail, multifamily and more.
