    Memorial City developer acquires all of CityCentre's retail properties

    One of Houston’s premier shopping and dining destinations has a new owner. Houston-based real estate developer MetroNational has acquired the retail portions of CityCentre from Midway, which is also a Houston-based real estate developer. Terms of the deal were not disclosed.

    Notably, the deal includes an over 300,000-square-foot property that’s home to more than 20 restaurants — ranging from casual concepts such as Hopdoddy, Grimaldi’s, and Bellagreen to more upscale options such as Daily Gather, the Capital Grille, North Italia, and Eddie V’s Prime Seafood — as well as retailers such as Kendra Scott, Sur la Table, and Warby Parker. It also includes entertainment destinations such as movie theater Star Cinema Grill and upscale bowling concept Bowl & Barrel.

    However, the deal does not include The Moran hotel or CityCentre’s office buildings or apartments. Midway will retain ownership of those properties.

    Since MetroNational also owns the 300-acre Memorial City complex, its holdings now consist of several large tracts that run along the south side of I-10 from Bunker Hill Road to the Sam Houston Tollway, including Memorial City Mall, Gateway Memorial City, Hotel ZaZa Memorial City, and Memorial Hermann Tower. Earlier this year, MetroNational added the 15-story office tower at 990 Town & Country Boulevard. It also has holdings north of I-10, including Greenside, a new project that will transform former industry buildings into retail and dining spaces. In total, it owns more than 10 million square feet of commercial real estate.

    “For the last 15 years, we have watched and admired how well Brad Freels and Midway have enhanced the customer experience with the CityCentre offering,” MetroNational CEO Jason Johnson said in a statement. “We believe CityCentre is a legacy asset that will perform for many more decades. Together, Memorial City and CityCentre expand the footprint of premier amenities, supporting our vision for a ‘city within the city.’ This transaction not only enhances our portfolio but also underscores a long-term commitment to positioning Memorial as one of Houston’s most dynamic business and leisure destinations.”

    Just as it did for Greenside, MetroNational is working with Houston’s Radom Capital to “reimagine and elevate the retail experience at CityCentre,” according to press materials. Radom is known for developing a number of mixed-use developments, including MKT Heights, the Montrose Collective, and the historic Tower Theater complex and adjacent buildings on lower Westheimer.

    “We are proud to partner with MetroNational and CityCentre on this exciting opportunity,” added Steve Radom, managing principal of Radom Capital. “Their vision for vibrant, connected destinations aligns perfectly with our commitment to delivering best-in class spaces that bring people together.”

    rent report

    2 Houston suburbs had the priciest rents in the metro in November

    Asking rent for a single-bedroom apartment in Houston came out to $1,210 in November, Zumper said.

    After American shoppers spent $11.5 billion on Black Friday this year, it's safe to say everyone is watching their wallets this holiday season, including renters. And a new Zumper report is shedding light on the Houston-area cities that are shelling out the most for their rent.

    The report analyzed active listings from the previous month across all cities in the Houston metro. It tracked the most and least expensive rent prices for one- and two-bedroom apartments, and determines the cities with the fastest growing rents. Listings were aggregated by city to calculate median asking rents.

    Sugar Land had the highest rent prices in the Houston area in November, the report found. The median rent price for a single-bedroom apartment came out to $1,480 last month. That's $30 higher than the median asking rent for the same apartment in June.

    For two-bedroom units, median rent prices in Sugar Land rose 4.3 percent from October to $1,940.

    Pearland had the second-highest rents in the metro last month. Single-bedroom units had a median asking price of $1,370 per month, while two-bedroom units had a $1,700 price tag in November.

    Residents in both Pearland and Sugar Land are expected to spend more than $3,100 on their holiday presents this year, a recent WalletHub study revealed, which means they may be keeping a closer eye on their budgets than other Houston-area residents.

    Meanwhile, Houston proper had the third-priciest asking rents in the entire metro area in November. Median asking rent for a one-bedroom unit totaled $1,210 in November, and two-bedroom units had a $1,480 price tag.

    These are the median rent prices for one- and two-bedroom apartments around Houston:

    • League City – $1,180 for one-bedroom units; $1,410 for two-bedroom units
    • Spring – $1,170 for one-bedroom units; $1,530 for two-bedroom units

    Houston-area cities with affordable rent compared to the statewide median
    Zumper found the statewide median rent for a one bedroom apartment came out to $1,126 last month.

    Huntsville, a city 70 miles north of Houston, had the most affordable rent for a one-bedroom unit in the region, with median prices adding up to $880. The report also found that Huntsville's single-bedroom rent costs are surprisingly 6 percent more expensive than they were a year ago. However, the median cost for a two-bedroom unit in Huntsville – $1,000 – is the same asking price as it was in November 2024.

    Six more Houston-area cities had more affordable single-bedroom rent prices than the statewide median:

    • Galveston – $1,110
    • Conroe – $1,100
    • Baytown – $1,000
    • Lake Jackson – $920
    • Pasadena – $910
    • Texas City – $890
