Five Corners District

Five Corners District is a management district covering sections of southern and Southwest Houston, Texas, United States.

History

The Texas Legislature created the district in 2007. A business owner named Mehdi Banijamali stated that 25 property owners had signed to have the district created even though there were 1,400 property owners in its boundaries.

On one occasion a group of business owners sued the district, and a settlement ended that suit; as part of the settlement the business owners no longer had their properties assessed. Another suit was filed in 2012 with another group of business owners accusing the district organizers of deliberately excluding some businesses from the district.

It has a total of 55,000 square feet (5,100 m2) of space, including a 2,300-square-foot (210 m2) community room. The cost was $21 million.
