KATY, TEXAS — NewQuest, a local commercial real estate development and services firm, has broken ground on the multi-tenant retail component of Texas Heritage Marketplace, a $400 million mixed-use development in Katy, a western suburb of Houston. The project represents the largest cluster of retail space in the history of Waller County, according to NewQuest. “As it stands, Waller and surrounding rural counties have been unserved by major retailers,” says Austin Alvis, president and chief development officer for NewQuest. “Texas Heritage Marketplace will fill in that gap.” Situated in the center of Texas Heritage Marketplace, the retail space that is now under construction is leased to tenants including Academy Sports + Outdoors (51,068 square feet), Burlington (22,147 square feet), Spec’s Fine Wines & Spirits (16,806 square feet) and Ulta Beauty (10,000 square feet). NewQuest plans to deliver the junior retail anchors in first-quarter 2027. The groundbreaking also includes Heritage Grove, a green space component that will span five acres at the center of the development. The park-like common space will be surrounded by the junior retailers and an additional 35,000 square feet of retail space planned for restaurants and service retailers, as well as a 40,000-square-foot EoS Fitness location.

In addition, vacant buildings can serve as warnings to future developers of what not to do and when not to do it.  Attaching this allegorical significance to the New Jersey industrial market might seem odd, given that this sector has been and should continue to be one of the strongest segments in the country, in terms of both the geography and the asset class. The residential density, highly developed infrastructure and proximity to major ports and transit hubs will likely never lose their appeal to industrial investors and developers. But even the strongest markets can overheat from time to time, and it typically takes a couple years for the high to completely wear off such that indicators of market normalcy can become readily visible.  That’s what appears to be taking shape throughout the Garden State’s industrial market. And without naming names or picking on specific projects, sources say that there are undoubtedly some buildings in New Jersey …
