This chart shows that although annual growth rates related to commercial square footage added can be impacted by
economic conditions, such as the “Great Recession,” Southlake’s commercial property base has grown annually since
1996. Increases in these numbers over time are beneficial for the City, as a greater amount of commercial square
footage leads to increases in the tax base.
