Fidelis Breaks Ground on 105-Acre Mixed-Use Redevelopment of San Jacinto Mall in Metro Houston

by Katie Sloan

BAYTOWN, TEXAS — Fidelis Realty Partners has broken ground on the redevelopment of San Jacinto Mall, a regional shopping mall located roughly 25 miles east of Houston in Baytown.  Dubbed San Jacinto Marketplace, the current phase of development will include 500,000 square feet of retail and restaurant space alongside Pelican Green, a public green space. 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 …

Placemaking: The Secret to Success of Texas’ New Urban Retail Developments

by Taylor Williams

By Burdette Huffman, executive vice president, Blue Ox Group Why are people drawn to spend money and time at certain places in a city? What makes someone want to do their shopping, stop for coffee or plan a date night at one spot versus another? Sometimes, it’s a special location or an emotional connection to a particular vendor. But in many instances, the draw is entirely by design. It’s an intentional, strategic urban planning tactic that’s been around for decades, and it’s called placemaking. What Is Placemaking?The concept of placemaking has been around since the 1960s thanks to urban planning pioneers and was bolstered in the 1990s by the smart growth agenda of organizations like the Urban Land Institute. In modern parlance across the state, it’s not much different. Put simply, placemaking is about creating a special place where people want to be. Placemaking is about imagining and then developing a place where parents might want to grab coffee after dropping their kids off at school. Or it’s a place where date nights happen because there’s a great new spot for dinner and maybe space to take a walk or grab a drink afterward. If it’s executed correctly, it’s the …
