We are actively marketing the balance of the retail and are receiving tremendous interest. We hope to be making other announcements soon.”
CityPlace is a 60-acre fully-integrated, mixed-use development that will provide the Houston community with a new destination of choice that integrates working, shopping and living, and will include, when fully developed, 4 million square feet of Class A office space with 400,000 square feet of integrated retail space, including shops, restaurants and entertainment options carefully curated to appeal to a wide variety of tastes and activities, as well as the full-service Marriott CityPlace hotel and luxury multifamily projects.
Currently under construction in CityPlace are: ABS Plaza, ABS headquarters with ground floor retail; HP Plaza, a two-building office campus; Marriott CityPlace hotel; and the CityPlace Plaza, a public plaza to include an activated open space and an amphitheatre allowing for both private and public events. These projects are scheduled for completion in the fourth quarter of 2018. In the planning stages is CityPlace 1, which will include 122,700 square feet of office and 26,900 square feet of ground floor retail. The project is being actively preleased and can be available for occupancy in as little as 12 months. Already completed is The Mark CityPlace, luxury apartment community by Fein.
“With ExxonMobil, Southwestern Energy and CHI St. Luke’s Health Medical Campus in place, and ABS HQs and HP Inc. campus underway, we will have more than 15,000 highly-skilled, well-paid employees and residents within Springwoods Village, all of whom need and want access to quality retail amenities,” said Warren Wilson, executive vice president of CDC Houston. “The addition of Star Cinema Grill is another step in creating a new urban center in north Houston: a truly walkable, sustainable mixed-use destination.”
Springwoods Village is a 2,000-acre, mixed-use community situated along the west side of Interstate 45 between Springwoods Village Parkway and the Grand Parkway. Designed for sustainability, when completed the nature-inspired residential and commercial community will provide diverse housing options, civic facilities, outdoor recreation and a 60-acre CityPlace with office space, shopping, dining and lodging in an urban, walkable environment.
