Bayland Island Hyatt Regency set to open this week

May 15, 2023

Hyatt Regency Baytown-Houston is set to officially open its doors on Thursday and reservations are now bookable online at Hyatt.com.

A ribbon-cutting ceremony is set for 10 a.m. Thursday at the hotel site on Bayland Island. The hotel will serve as Baytown’s only full-service waterfront hotel. It will have 208 guestrooms and over 18,000 square feet of meeting and event space.

Sugar Land’s Imperial Char House Gets a $1 Billion Makeover

After being closed for 20 years, the neighborhood icon is finally getting a facelift.

By Shelby Stewart
April 10, 2023

IN ITS HEYDAY AS A PROUD BEACON of southwest Houston when it opened in 1843, the Imperial Sugar Char House once produced more than 2 million pounds of sugar daily.

But since its closing in 2003 the building has fallen on tough times, succumbing to vandalism and dilapidation. But that’s all about to change with a new vision for the lot and the community.

Real estate development firm PUMA Development is partnering with the City of Sugar Land to repurpose the land Imperial Sugar occupied. “PUMA not only wants to restore the historic structures,” a Houston Chronicle report stated, “but to bring them into the future with a proposed 40-acre mixed-use development that could eventually encompass some $1 billion in investments over the next 7 to 10 years.”

The development is slated to include 660 apartments and homes, 150,000 square feet of retail space, and 300,00 square feet of office space. The City of Sugar Land is taking the necessary steps to initiate the massive undertaking by modifying zoning to allow for apartments to be built on-site. In addition, Sugar Land has agreed to lease 27,000 square feet of office space in the redeveloped buildings.

The Sugar Char House will be a really cool development. Look forward to seeing how the building bring new energy to the area over the upcoming years. What a cool project to work on!

Fulshear downtown plans to create connection

By Asia Armour | 8:15 AM Feb 3, 2023 CST

The city of Fulshear is planning for a reimagining of its downtown streetscape.

Several projects are in design with the intent to improve north- and southbound traffic, ensure the streets are walkable for pedestrians and preserve its small-town charm, city officials said.

Fulshear Assistant City Manager Zach Goodlander said the city will start construction to transform Wallis Street and Main Street into 80-foot one-way roads with similar designs by 2024. Wallis Street will take on southbound traffic, and Main Street will take north.

Goodlander said Harris Street, which is nestled between the two, will serve as a catalyst to economic development—becoming a pedestrian corridor to hold space for events and commercial development.

Updated 2:11 PM May 10, 2023 CDT

As previously reported by Community Impact, the city of Fulshear and Fort Bend County intend to make changes to three essential streets in downtown Fulshear that will increase commerce and walkability in the area.

Assistant City Manager Zach Goodlander said the design phase of Harris Street—which will be funded and constructed exclusively by the city—is on track to conclude by mid-June.

Harris Street is located between Wallis and Main streets—the two other roadways involved in the downtown streetscape plan, which will be funded by the city but designed and constructed by Fort Bend County.

Fort Bend County to invest in new African-American memorial park to honor one of first freedmen’s towns in Texas

Part of Bates Allen Park will be redeveloped, including the preservation of two historic black cemeteries and a memorial to honor Fort Bend County’s sometimes-forgotten African-American History.

ASHLEY BROWN
POSTED ON FEBRUARY 28, 2023, 2:42 PM
(LAST UPDATED: MARCH 1, 2023, 1:20 PM)

Fort Bend County announced on Monday a $4 million investment for the creation of a new African-American Memorial at a park in Kendleton, southwest of Rosenberg. The community was one the first freedmen's towns in Texas – founded by freed slaves in the 1860s.

Part of Bates Allen Park will be redeveloped, including the preservation of two historic black cemeteries and a memorial to honor Fort Bend County's sometimes-forgotten African-American History.

Fort Bend County is one of three counties in Texas with official accounts of lynching and African-American history that range from accounts of lynching, slavery, convict-leasing and the establishment of Freedmen's Town and the first-ever Black elected officials.

Precinct 4 Commissioner Dexter L. McCoy said creating the memorial allows people to learn about untold history in Fort Bend County.

"We have a really unique opportunity here in Fort Bend to tell the full story about the Black experience in this country," he said.

The site will include a series of trails, one that will connect the two Black historic cemeteries, Newman Chapel Cemetery and Oak Hill Cemetery to a Juneteenth Plaza reflection pond, a 3-story tall monument, and potentially a learning center.

"For our team, this is about nonrenewable assets in our community," said Daimian Hines, the architect and founder of Hines Architecture and Designs. "We need to preserve them, we need to celebrate them, and we need to pay reverence."

A developer is planning Friendswood's first hotel to serve as the centerpiece of a mixed-use development in the city's downtown.

Construction will begin this year on the 30-room boutique hotel, which will be part of One Sixty One, a planned 180,000-square-foot development that will include retail establishments, restaurants, office space and 36 high-end apartments.

The hotel will serve local residents and business commuters, according to Brett Banfield, president of the Banfield Properties Inc., the developer of the One Sixty One project.

The One Sixty One project in Friendswood is planned as a 180,000-square-foot multiuse development that will be anchored by a 30-room boutique hotel.

The Woodlands Mall to undergo $100M expansion to add hotels, open-air retail section

By Florian Martin – Reporter, Houston Business Journal
Nov 21, 2022
Updated Nov 21, 2022, 2:35pm CST

The Woodlands Mall is poised to undergo a $100 million expansion, adding two hotels and additional retail space.

In a joint special meeting on Nov. 16, The Woodlands Township and the Economic Development Zone, in a 5-1 vote with one abstention, approved an agreement with The Woodlands Mall Associates LLC, which grants a portion of sales and hotel occupancy tax revenues from the expansion to the owner of the mall, Brookfield Properties, over a 30-year period.

The development area is a 15-acre site adjacent to Macy’s on the southwest corner of the mall, which is currently used as a parking lot.

The plan is to build an open-air, mixed-use commercial center with at least 80,000 square feet of retail space, a 200-room full-service hotel, a 125-room select-service hotel, a multilevel parking garage with at least 1,200 spots as well as surface parking and other improvements.

The agreement mentions Hyatt, Marriott and Hilton, among others, as examples for a full-service hotel and includes Holiday Inn, Doubletree and Comfort Inn as examples for a select-service hotel. It excludes establishments such as motels, hostels and bed-and-breakfasts.

The first phase includes 45,000 square feet of retail space and one or potentially both of the hotels.

The agreement requires Phase 1 to be completed by the end of 2028 and Phase 2 by the end of 2033.

Seabrook City Council OKs $170M mixed-use project with Compass by Margaritaville hotels

By Florian Martin – Reporter, Houston Business Journal
Jan 24, 2023

Seabrook, a suburb in the Clear Lake area, will be getting an estimated $170 million mixed-used development featuring two Margaritaville-branded hotels.

The Seabrook City Council on Jan. 17 approved Seabrook Plaza One LP's preliminary planned unit development for 11 acres on the Clear Lake-facing side of NASA Road 1 at Repsdorph Road.

The company, owned by Houston-based developer John Fischer, plans to develop what is to be called Seabrook Plaza, with a 100,000-square-foot boutique hotel, a 120,000-square-foot extended stay hotel, a 25,000-square-foot event center, a seven-story apartment complex with 260 one- and two-bedroom units, and about 25,000 square feet of retail space.

It also includes more than 800 parking spots for the hotels and event center and nearly 370 for the apartments. Most of the parking would be on the first and second floors of the buildings.

Fischer has purchased a license to operate both hotels under the Compass by Margaritaville brand, according to city of Seabrook officials. Compass, which launched in 2020, is a “collection of upscale boutique hotels” from Jimmy Buffet's Margaritaville brand, according to its website.

Kelsey-Seybold Clear Lake Clinic expanding to create 11-acre Bay Area Campus

By Florian Martin – Reporter, Houston Business Journal
Aug 29, 2022

Houston-based health care system Kelsey-Seybold is expanding another clinic into a significantly larger campus with an ambulatory surgery center and a cancer center.

Construction is underway for the expansion of its Clear Lake clinic, at 1010 South Ponds Drive across the freeway from Baybrook Mall, into the 11-acre, three-building Bay Area Campus.

It will be one of Kelsey-Seybold’s top four campuses, along with the Spencer R. Berthelsen Main Campus at 2727 West Holcombe Blvd., the newly opened Memorial Villages campus at 1001 Campbell Road, and the future Fort Bend Campus at 11555 University Blvd. in Sugar Land, which is under construction.

Part of the expansion is a four-story, 116,000-square-foot professional building, which will include the ambulatory surgery center on a pad next to the existing clinic, and a two-story, 32,000-square-foot cancer center, which will sit right on the Interstate 45 frontage road, next to a La-Z-Boy furniture store.

In addition, the existing three-story, 55,000-square-foot clinic is undergoing renovations and expansions on 25,000 square feet and adding a 300-space parking garage.

Sugar Land to conduct development study of Tract 5

By Renee Farmer | 1:38 PM May 19, 2023 CDT
Updated 1:38 PM May 19, 2023 CDT

Looking to make Tract 5 a livable, walkable town center, Sugar Land hired a design firm to conduct a study of what buildings and uses the site could support.

The details: Sugar Land City Council unanimously approved a $109,560 contract with architectural design firm Stantec during its May 16 meeting following a presentation from Jessica Huble, Sugar Land’s senior development manager.

Stantec will conduct an economic and urban design study of Tract 5, which comprises the land around and including the Smart Financial Centre. The study focuses on approximately 83 acres of the tract, which includes two parcels owned by Sugar Land and one by developer Newland.

MD Anderson owns three sections of the tract and plans to construct 500,000 square feet of building space, Mayor Joe Zimmerman said.

The Conroe campus, which holds the medical school, has an enrollment headcount that is projected to grow from its fall 2021 numbers of 185 students to 750 students in fall 2031. With the substantial enrollment projected, Losch said there is a need for space.

The College of Osteopathic Medicine is the first medical school in Montgomery County and the third osteopathic medical school in Texas, a previous release stated. The medical school was built on 7.3 acres of land in Houston-based Johnson Development Corp.'s Grand Central Park master-planned community, the former Camp Strake site.

Right now, the campus is landlocked, but a near-term priority project for an 80,000 gross square-foot Health Professions building is proposed to create a campus environment, as well as the parking garage, which is underway now, Losch said.

30-acre Cypress Health and Wellness Campus to break ground this fall

By Florian Martin – Reporter, Houston Business Journal
May 31, 2023

A long-planned health care campus on the corner of U.S. Highway 290 and the Grand Parkway is finally close to breaking ground after a pandemic-caused delay.

A group of physicians is developing the Cypress Health and Wellness Campus on 30 acres of vacant land next to Second Baptist Church Cypress Campus.

Groundbreaking for the first building, a 70,000-square-foot multispecialty medical office building, is slated for this fall, said Kim Keller, a general surgeon and one of three physicians that head the development entity, North Cypress Land Ventures.

The other leading members are Kumaran Sathyamoorthy, a urologist, and Julius DeBroeck, a primary care doctor. Overall, the entity includes more than 30 physicians, Sathyamoorthy said. They purchased the tract from North Cypress Medical Center in summer 2019 and initially planned to start with a health and wellness center with a fitness area. But then the pandemic hit.

“It seems like with Covid, that's what got hit the hardest,” Keller said. “So (we decided to) do a pause and just not do anything for two years, just because there was too much uncertainty.”

The plan is now to work on a 110,000-square-foot wellness center after the medical office building is completed. The third phase could include a women’s and/or a cancer center, depending on physician demand.

“The need in the community is there, and so it's a matter of just coordinating the doctors with the need and the institutions,” Keller said.

The hope is to complete all phases, which could include four or five buildings, in about five years. Keller estimates the entire project will cost between $500 million and $600 million.

The first building is fully financed with the help of the physician offices that will occupy it, Keller said, adding that it is already 90% leased.

Finally, city officials highlighted a proposed future downtown area adjacent to Valencia that would feature a new city hall and main city service buildings and an expansive sports complex. The 160-acre area would feature a series of multiuse sports fields alongside retail space for hotels, an amphitheater and other community spaces, according to a Dec. 5 feasibility study for the project.

The study, conducted by The Sports Facilities Advisory for architecture design client PGAL, shows an estimated investment of $63.9 million from the city for the complex, which has no stated timeline yet.

Current council officials touted the project as an opportunity to create a sports tourism destination that will attract visitors from across the state, boosting the local economy and providing a walkable downtown space for current residents.

Davison said the project, which had its design recently approved and may see ground work start in the summer, is facing some criticism from citizens and council candidates

Hines buys 954 acres to develop 2,100-home master-planned community in Houston area

By Florian Martin – Reporter, Houston Business Journal
Apr 13, 2023 Updated Apr 14, 2023, 11:50am CDT

Hines plans to develop its largest master-planned community in the Houston area since First Colony in Sugar Land.

The Houston-based real estate company, along with Trez Capital and several limited partner investors, earlier this month purchased 954 acres of undeveloped land outside Iowa Colony, in southern Brazoria County. The yet-to-be-named community is slated to have 2,100 single-family homes at build-out.

Derek Graber with Dosch Marshall Real Estate represented Hines, and David Cook and Meredith Cullen with Cushman & Wakefield represented the seller. Flagstar Bank and Rocky Lai & Associates provided financing.

The community will be located along the western side of State Highway 288 just south of Iowa Colony’s current city limits. The property will be annexed into the city in the next several months as part of a development agreement, Iowa Colony City Manager Robert Hemminger said.

Hines plans to offer a variety of lot sizes ranging from 40 to more than 80 feet in width.

While Brazoria County requires lot sizes in new subdivisions to be at least 80 feet wide, municipalities can set their own rules.

“As Houston continues to be a major employment hub in the Southwest, coupled with a supply-constrained market and rapid in-migration, the need for attainable housing remains critical,” Carson Nunnelly, managing director at Hines, said in a statement. “With great schools in a prime location, this project will be vital in providing more homebuying opportunities in Brazoria County.”

Ashton Gray Development to build its second master-planned community, first for Angleton

By Florian Martin – Reporter, Houston Business Journal
May 2, 2023

Angleton, the county seat of Brazoria County, is getting its very first master-planned community.

The Angleton City Council at its April 25 meeting approved a developer agreement with Sugar Land-based Ashton Gray Development for Ashland, an 880-acre community off State Highway 288.

Ashton Gray purchased the land in late 2021 from several different sellers, said Shaun Vembutty, president of the company. The plans calls for 2,450 homes at build-out, a site for an elementary and a junior high school in the Angleton Independent School District and about 45 acres of commercial development fronting Highway 288.

About half of the lots will be 50-by-120-foot and the rest will be 55 and 60 feet in width or larger, with houses ranging from about 1,400 to 3,000 square feet. Vembutty said he expects the homes to be priced from the low $300,000s to the $400,000s, and there is a possibility that townhomes will be part of the mix as well.

Bellaire-based Quiddity is the land engineer, and Houston-based Allen Boone Humphries Robinson LLP provided legal services for the development. Ashton Gray is in the process of selecting homebuilders, Vembutty said.

Development will happen in two phases. Phase 1 should begin in the fourth quarter of this year and include about 1,200 lots on the first 500 acres, Vembutty said.

The community will include more than 200 acres of amenity space, including a nature preserve, detention ponds with an 8-mile trail system, a recreation center with a gym, a resort-style pool and a lap pool, and a playground.

According to the developer agreement, the city of Angleton will annex Ashland, which is currently in its extraterritorial jurisdiction, into the city limits once it’s close to full build-out.

The contract also gives Ashton Gray and the city two years to secure an agreement from Brazoria County and the Texas Department of Transportation to develop Highway 288 frontage roads.

If no agreement is reached, Ashton Gray will be able to develop the tracts intended for commercial use as residential instead. If they succeed in getting a frontage road built, the plan is to develop a mixed-use retail district.

Hines to develop 850-acre master-planned community Brookewater in Rosenberg

By Florian Martin – Reporter, Houston Business Journal
Sep 15, 2022 Updated Sep 16, 2022, 11:41am CDT

Houston-based Hines, mostly known for commercial real estate development, plans to build a more than 850-acre residential community on the outskirts of Rosenberg in Fort Bend County.

At build-out, Brookewater, located off U.S. Highway 59 along the south side of Finney Vallet Road, is expected to have 2,400 single-family homes with lot widths ranging from 40 feet to more than 60 feet. Home prices will likely range from the mid-$300,000s to more than $700,000, Hines said.

Hines is partnering with Vancouver, Canada-based Trez Capital; Southlake, Texas-based Caravel Ventures; and Tokyo-based Sumitomo Forestry for the development, which will include a “resort-style” water feature, parks, lakes, walking trails, nature preserves and playgrounds.

The plan also calls for a school site. The community is zoned to the Lamar Consolidated Independent School District.

Alex Makris, Patrick Keegan and Zach Leger of Houston-based Partners, formerly known as NAI Partners, represented the seller in the land transaction, which closed on Sept. 6.

The developers expect to start construction before the end of the year. Highland Homes, Perry Homes, David Weekley Homes, Gehan Homes, Chesmar Homes and Westin Homes are the selected homebuilders for the first phase of the development, which is expected to deliver in 2024.

Land Tejas will handle development activities for Starbridge, which will be zoned to the Lamar Consolidated Independent School District.

The developers have not yet selected homebuilders or price points, according to John Brian, Starwood Land's East Region president.

Land Tejas, founded in 1997, topped the Houston Business Journal’s 2020 Largest Houston-Area Residential Real Estate Developers List, the most recent one available.

Methodist Hospital's application for Bellaire location set for June public hearing

Updated 2:15 PM May 4, 2023 CDT

The city of Bellaire’s downtown commercial corridor could be the site for Methodist Hospital and three other retail buildings. After the Bellaire Planning and Zoning Commission passed it by a 3-2 vote in April, the application advanced to the next step with City Council, which will include a public hearing June 5.

What’s next?
After the June 5 public hearing, Development Services Director Travis Tanner said, City Council would take action on the request at a subsequent meeting.

The date for the meeting has not been decided yet, he said, but would need to be scheduled following the June hearing.

It will be a two-meeting process, according to Tanner.

If City Council votes in favor of the application, existing buildings on the approximately 3.19-acre site at the former Randall’s at 5130 Bellaire Blvd., including a small one-story commercial building occupied by a Subway restaurant, would all be demolished, according to city documents.
