    In news that’s shocking to no one who lives here, Texas land is in high demand, as evidenced by the recent report that the Lone Star State led the U.S. with the largest shares of land sales in 2021.

    Now, locals who want to capitalize on that trend can have a new option for new land just 35 miles north of the Loop. Stallion Lakes, a new, gated community in Hockley, Texas, is offering lots for sale, starting at $300,000 on land that promises “nature trails, vast greenery, and rolling terrain,” according to developers.

    Spanning 394 acres (24609 Magnolia Rd. in Hockley), the new development will include five lakes and an interconnected trails system for biking and jogging, per press materials. Targeting new buyers, second-or-third-home buyers, and city dwellers looking for more land away from it all, developers Kickerillo Companies and local businessman Bill Bean are offering lot sizes ranging from 1.5 to more than 3.5 acres.

    Each lot is prepped for natural gas and fiber optic cable; prices range between $300,000 and $690,000. Those interested in the custom builds should note that the development requires at least 4,500 square feet for one-story plans and at least 5,000 square feet for two-story homes.

    Builders slated for thus far are Kickerillo Companies, Jeff Paul Homes, Matt Powers Custom Homes, Morning Star Builders, and William David Homes, per a press release. “This land truly takes your breath away,” said Kelli Kickerillo, CEO of Kickerillo Companies, in a statement. “It is an escape from the city set on some of the most beautiful property that we have seen.”

    Stallion Lakes — so named for a horse, Sampson, owned by Bean and Kickerillo — will also be a draw for current and future members of the nearby Clubs at Houston Oaks, a sprawling, premier golf and sporting club sitting on nearly 1,000 acres of countryside, that also offers equestrian activities, fishing, wine programs, and more.

    Hockley, meanwhile, is growing in popularity for those looking for an escape from big-city life and small-town charm. Popular draws include golf, nature fun, the Oil Ranch oil facility and amusement park, and Fairfield Town Center.

    Bed Bath & Beyond returns to Houston via Container Store merger

    The Container Store is merging with Bed Bath & Beyond.

    Bed Bath & Beyond is making a comeback — well, sort of. The Container Store is merging 98 of its nationwide stores with the once-mighty home goods chain, including the its Houston-area locations location in Uptown, Champions, and Friendswood.

    On April 6, Bed Bath & Beyond entered into a merger agreement to purchase The Container Store for $150 million. A release says combining the two concepts’ goods will “better serve how customers live today.”

    In recent years, both brands have been struggling as part of the “retail apocalypse” of big box stores. In December 2024, Coppell-based Container Store filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy without shedding any stores.

    Bed Bath & Beyond, meanwhile, collapsed in summer 2023. After filing for Chapter 11, it liquidated all of its U.S. stores. It shuttered three Houston-area stores in 2020, followed by all of its remaining locations in 2023.

    As part of the merger, The Container Store will be streamlining its offerings, cutting around 30 percent of its stock. Stores will be offering clearance prices on the items starting Friday, April 24. The Container Store will also be opening an hour early on April 25-26, giving early birds an extra 5 percent discount.

    “This is a reset with purpose,” said Jen Pape, Senior Vice President of Stores at The Container Store, in a release. “We are actively reshaping our stores to make room for what’s next. By streamlining select categories today, we’re creating the space and flexibility needed to introduce Bed Bath & Beyond products and deliver a more complete home experience for our customers.”

    The merger affects 12 Texas stores, including:

    • Arlington — 4000 Arlington Highlands Blvd #101
    • Austin — 9629 Research Blvd
    • Dallas — 13710 Dallas Pkwy
    • Dallas — 7700 W NW Hwy #500
    • Fairview — 151 East Stacy Rd
    • Fort Worth — 4601 West Fwy #500
    • Friendswood — 18760 Gulf Fwy
    • Houston — 5466 FM 1960 W
    • Houston — 2511 Post Oak Blvd
    • Plano — 8460 Parkwood Blvd
    • San Antonio — 333 NW Loop 410
    • Southlake — 1200 Main St
