Five Corners District is a management district covering sections of southern and Southwest Houston, Texas, United States.
The Texas Legislature created the district in 2007.[1] 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.[2]
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.[3] Another suit was filed in 2012 with another group of business owners accusing the district organizers of deliberately excluding some businesses from the district.[2]
The current Houston Police Department Southwest Patrol Division Station is located in Cambridge Village Park, within the Five Corners district.[5] The beginning of the construction was scheduled for February or March 2016 while the end of construction was scheduled for June–July 2017. It replaced a previous station inside the 610 Loop.[6] It has a total of 55000square feet of space,[5] including a 2300square feet community room.[6] The cost was $21 million.[5]
