Texas Heritage Marketplace: A $400 Million Mixed-Use Development Under Construction in Waller County
Houston-based commercial real estate firm NewQuest has broken ground on a $400 million, 165-acre mixed-use shopping center in Waller County. The project, known as the Texas Heritage Marketplace, is expected to feature 750,000 square feet of retail and restaurants, as well as 550 apartments in two communities.
A Decade of Planning and Development
NewQuest has invested nearly 10 years in bringing the project to fruition. The company is working with a variety of leading retailers and restaurateurs to procure the best possible mix for the project, with plans to announce additional anchors and tenants soon. According to Austin Alvis, NewQuest’s president and chief development officer, "After all these years of work, we couldn’t be happier to kick off Texas Heritage Marketplace with a great anchor like Target. We are proud to be bringing this exciting new development to the community."
A Walkable Environment with Ample Greenspace
The Texas Heritage Marketplace is designed to be a cohesive, walkable environment with ample greenspace. The project will feature a huge Heritage oak tree, which has been relocated from the path of the recently-completed Texas Heritage Parkway. This tree is reportedly the largest ever moved in the Houston area, and its relocation has helped to preserve a piece of local history.
A Collaboration with Local Authorities
The project represents a collaboration with the City of Katy, Waller County, and the Texas Heritage Parkway Association. While there is no set date for completion, the development is expected to bring new shopping, business, and entertainment options to residents in the area.
