Richfield Investments Prepping Site for 100-Acre Retail Project

HOUSTON-The dirt's flying on a 100-acre tract that Richfield Investments had bought last year for $50 million. Plans call for a large-scale retail center and possibly a hotel or office tower... or both.

HOUSTON-The bulldozers are busily leveling a choice parcel of land called West8, demolishing all existing structures except the 11-story, 250,000-sf West8 Tower at 10205 Westheimer Rd.

Kathy Richter of Richfield Investments told GlobeSt.com that a massive retail center will be constructed on part of the site, with an opening being eyed for 2001. “I don’t like the term ‘mall,’” she says. “The exact size is yet to be determined,” says Richter, adding that other projects ticketed for the site are still in planning stages as well. “It will definitely be a multi-use site when it is done.” The rest of the site will see the rise of “a hotel or an office building, or more likely both,” she says.

Richfield last year had purchased the West8 site–about 100 acres–from Baker Hughes for an estimated $50 million. The property fronts along the east side of Beltway 8 all the way from Richmond to Westheimer.
