JLL Capital Markets has closed the sale of Shadow Creek Ranch, a 613,468-square-foot, H-E-B-anchored power center within the master-planned Shadow Ranch community in the Houston suburb of Pearland, Texas.

JLL marketed the property on behalf of the seller, EDENS. Fidelis Realty Partners LLC acquired the asset. Additionally, the new owner has engaged JLL to source post-acquisition financing.

Completed between 2007 and 2008, Shadow Creek Ranch is anchored by H-E-B, ranked the No. 2 grocer in America for 2021 by the dunnhumby Retailer Preference Index. The 97.7-percent-leased property is also home to a diverse lineup of national and local tenants, including Academy, Ashley HomeStore, Burlington, Dynamic Fitness, Hobby Lobby, Subway, Club Pilates, Men’s Wearhouse, Pure Barre and Salata.

The sale includes 11 free-standing pad sites leased to popular tenants such as Taco Cabana, Frost Bank and Longhorn Steakhouse.

Shadow Creek Ranch is at 2805 Business Center Dr. in Pearland, a growing southern Houston suburb known for a recent influx of major corporate relocations. The retail center is within the 3,500-acre premier Shadow Creek Ranch master-planned, mixed-use, live-work-play development that features greenbelts, lakes and the majority of Pearland’s principal employers and retail space.

The JLL Retail Capital Markets team representing the seller was led by Senior Managing Directors Ryan West and Chris Gerard, Senior Managing Director and Co-Head of U.S. Retail Capital Markets Barry Brown, Senior Director Wendy Vandeventer and Analyst and Katherine Miller.

“The sale of Shadow Creek Ranch reflects the state of the retail capital markets in Texas,” West said. “We had a deep pool of buyers pursuing a large-scale retail asset that was anchored by a high-octane H-E-B and big box retailers that emerged from a pandemic stronger than before.”

(Rosenberg, Texas) – The first day of the new year brings the opening of Lamar Consolidated Independent School District’s Fletcher Morgan Jr., Elementary School. Completed in December 2021, 750 students in pre-K through fifth grade officially occupy the new school. Part of the 2017 Bond Election, Morgan Elementary School is the Lamar CISD’s 29th elementary school and VLK Architects’ fourth prototype facility with the district.

Lamar CISD developed a building program for the conceptual studies of this school, which mirrored existing elementary schools within the district that have similar student capacities, programs, and teaching spaces. As part of the planning process, VLK conducted meetings with school leaders to establish project objectives and milestones, including facilitating authentic engagement between curriculum, students, and teachers.

“VLK Architects has done a phenomenal job designing our new campus, Morgan Elementary,” said Dr. Roosevelt Nivens, Superintendent of Lamar CISD. “It truly is a beautiful campus equipped with everything that our scholars need to have an exciting and impactful learning environment. We are grateful for this new addition to our Lamar CISD community.”

Learning areas are organized into pods, each with six to eight classrooms, restrooms, storage spaces, printing stations, and collaboration spaces, as well as outdoor areas. Modular furniture, activity walls, and media stations play a vital role in transforming classroom pods into dynamic, adaptable spaces. In order to reduce ambient sound and improve hallway circulation, the music, art, and science rooms are located adjacent to the multifunctional gym/cafeteria and stage.

“It’s an honor to be able to work with Lamar CISD in opening another elementary school that serves the students, faculty, and staff in this fast-growing community,” said Todd J. Lien, AIA, Managing Partner of VLK Architects.

The project’s total cost was $24 million, funded as part of the 2017 Bond. Drymalla Construction served as the general contractor.
