The development in total is expected to span 105 acres and include residential, hospitality and office components upon completion.  Fidelis originally purchased 40 acres of the mall property, which opened in 1981, in July 2015 with a goal of owning 100 percent of the land for redevelopment. This process took Fidelis six years, with the final buildings — which were occupied by JCPenney and Macy’s — acquired by the locally-based firm in 2021.   The mall officially stopped operations in 2022, and Fidelis concurrently signed an agreement with the City of Baytown to pay $3.5 million as compensation and reimbursement as the project is being redeveloped. A timeline for the development was not announced, but Fidelis notes that the property will be home to somewhere between 15 and 20 restaurants with 10 major leases currently being negotiated.  “We have been faced with a number of challenges …
