First Watch Coming to Grand at Aliana as NewQuest Starts Work on More Multi-tenant Space

Posted on by Sarah

NewQuest Properties will soon break ground on additional multi-tenant space in the Grand at Aliana after landing the award-winning First Watch as its newest tenant in the 56-acre regional development in Fort Bend County, Texas. The popular breakfast, brunch and lunch eatery has leased a 4,060-square-foot end cap in a soon-to-start 10,900-square-foot building. A second multi-tenant project, totaling 9,490 square feet, will begin to rise in early Q1. Both structures will be prominently positioned at the main entrance of the Grand at Aliana and front the Grand Parkway/TX 99. “The Grand at Aliana is one of the few large shopping centers that has delivered in 2020 in the region and has stores that are opening,” said Josh Friedlander, vice president of NewQuest Properties. He and David Meyers, leasing director, lease the project for the Houston-based development and brokerage firm. NewQuest will deliver the first multi-tenant building in May. Otwell Construction Inc. of Magnolia, Texas, is the general contractor. If all goes as planned, First Watch will open in September. The Grand at Aliana is First Watch’s 16th location in Greater Houston for franchisee Mac Haik Enterprises. Ron Marshall, president of Mac Haik Realty LLC, served as tenant representative in the negotiations. Opening in the past month were Burlington, Five Below and Petco. In early Q1, Michaels, Ross Dress for Less and Ulta will come online. At build-out, the Grand at Aliana will add nearly 400,000 square feet of class A retail and restaurant space to the Grand Parkway-West Airport Boulevard intersection. “First Watch is the first in its category to land at that intersection. The Aliana neighborhood has been asking for a wider selection of restaurants, which we are trying to provide,” Friedlander said. Aliana is one of Fort Bend County’s newest communities. It is master planned for 4,423 homes and its neighbor, Harvest Green, will have 2,626 at completion. NewQuest’s regional development’s trade area boasts 42,339 households with an average annual income of nearly $100,000. “The area as a whole is experiencing extraordinary growth,” Friedlander said. “As a result, our leasing activity is strong for inline space and pads. I have another dozen deals under negotiation.”

Posted on by Sarah

Transwestern Real Estate Services (TRS) announced that Yang Ming Marine Transport Corp. has leased 34,541 square feet at Reserve at Westchase, located at 3250 Briarpark Drive in Houston. According to Transwestern research, this is the largest new deal done in the Westchase submarket since COVID-19 hit. Transwestern’s agency leasing team of executive vice president David Baker and associates Jack Scharnberg and Kristen Baker executed the lease on the heels of closing two new direct deals of 50,000 square feet and 3,500 square feet, as well as the completion of the lobby renovation. JLL’s Don Foster represented the tenant, which was previously located at 3 Sugar Creek Center in Sugar Land. “Despite virtually no property tours being conducted due to social distancing guidance and economic uncertainty, our team had been tracking every expiring tenant across Westchase and West Houston,” said David Baker. “We contacted over 200 tenants and brokers with leases expiring in the next four years to share this incredible Class A office opportunity and economic value.” Reserve at Westchase is a four-story, 194,919-square-foot building in the amenity-rich Westchase submarket. The building was recently renovated and features expansive floorplates that provide space for larger tenants to lease an entire floor with room to grow instead of having to separate their workforce across multiple floors. With an accessible location, park-like setting and abundance of nearby amenities, Reserve at Westchase is one of the best values in West Houston offering 125,000 square feet available for lease.
