Developing flood-resistant buildings, green stormwater infrastructure, and heat-mitigation projects that protect Houston communities from extreme weather events.
Creating state-of-the-art training facilities where Houston's traditional energy workforce can learn new skills in renewable energy, carbon capture, and sustainable technology.
Client Opportunity
Through the Donation Benefit Services Program, clients who participate in deconstruction and donation can receive ownership in the redevelopment of their donated properties. CityUp! takes strategically located industrial properties in Houston and transforms them into renewable energy facilities, climate-resilient developments, and workforce training centers that address both the energy transition and climate adaptation challenges. This innovative model creates sustainable tax benefits while simultaneously building the infrastructure and workforce needed for Houston to remain the Energy Capital of the World in a sustainable future.
