Dirt's Flying on Memorial Drive's Last Available Retail Site

HOUSTON-Hunington Properties of Houston has broken ground on the last available retail tract along Memorial Drive, where the game plan is to build a high-end, 30,000-sf retail center.

“This is the last front row seat on Memorial Drive,” Sandy Aron of Hunington Properties tells GlobeSt.com. “There is no more retail space available.” The 2.3-acre tract is near the Asbury intersection.

Aron says the ribbon will be cut on the center in April 2002. Nearly 75% of the up and coming space already is pre-leased and it’s predicted that it will soon be filled. The tenant roster to date includes Starbucks, The Kolache Factory, Smoothie King, Cingular Wireless, Quiznos, River Oaks Cleaners and Jack’s on Memorial, a high-end steakhouse.
