HOUSTON — Local developer Read King will redevelop the former Macy’s store at Almeda Mall in South Houston. Plans currently call for backfilling 65,000 square feet on the first floor of the two-level space with a grocery user. According to the Houston Business Journal, Read King is also in negotiations with fitness and food-and-beverage users for potential occupancy of another 44,000 or so square feet on the second floor. The publication also reports that the remaining upstairs space would likely house utilities due to parking constraints associated with bringing in other users. Construction on the redevelopment is set to begin in the coming weeks.
