    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.”

    Sugar Land's first new apartment complex in 13 years breaks ground

    Pearl Lake Pointe is a 376-unit luxury apartment complex slated for early summer 2027 in Sugar Land.

    Sugar Land is welcoming its first new apartment development in more than a decade. Pearl Lake Pointe, a 376-unit luxury community from developers Morgan and Carlyle, is underway at 16435 Creekbend Drive.

    Construction began in November, with an official groundbreaking held this week. “The groundbreaking of Pearl Lake Pointe marks an exciting new chapter for the Lake Pointe peninsula,” Sugar Land Mayor Carol K. McCutcheon said in a statement. “After years of planning and collaboration with Morgan, this project delivers much-needed, high-quality multifamily housing and strengthens our long-term vision for a vibrant, connected district. This milestone will help drive continued reinvestment and momentum throughout Lake Pointe and across Sugar Land.”

    Set across 6.46 acres, the five-story complex will feature five live-work units, a six-story parking garage, and 9,940 square feet of commercial office space. Fitness centers, a resort-inspired pool, a golf simulator, a sky lounge, and a cafe are among the planned amenities.

    Inside the residences, features include open-concept floor plans, quartz countertops, stainless-steel appliances, washers and dryers, and balconies in select units.

    “Pearl Lake Pointe is a unique opportunity to elevate the living experience and set a new benchmark for luxury in Sugar Land,” Kase Pappert, Morgan senior development manager, said. “We are grateful for the City’s partnership and look forward to helping re-energize the Lake Pointe peninsula with a welcoming community that feels like home and connects residents to the amenities right outside their door.”

    Roughly 20 miles from downtown Houston, the site has views of Brooks Lake and is adjacent to the former Fluor corporate campus currently being transformed into the Lake Pointe Green mixed-use development.

    The first Pearl Lake Pointe units are slated for delivery in early summer 2027. Morgan and Carlyle will own and manage the community, with project financing provided by Texas Capital Bank.

    “With Pearl Lake Pointe, Carlyle and Morgan are redefining multifamily living and adding meaningful momentum to address the demand for high-quality housing in the Sugar Land submarket,” said Adam Buchwald, Carlyle managing director and partner. “Partnering with Morgan — an accomplished developer with a strong track record — makes this project even more exciting, and Pearl Lake Pointe is a standout addition to Carlyle’s portfolio of high-quality multifamily developments.”
