Steve & Barry's Leases Two Sites in Houston

SPRING, TX-Steve & Barry’s LLC has added to its Houston base with long-term leases in two submarkets. The casual fashion retail store has taken 56,000 sf at Corum Station Shopping Center in the far north submarket and 42,000 sf at Deerbrook Mall in the far northeast to take its store count to five in the metro.

The spaces’ quoted rates range from $16.60 per sf to $18.60 per sf plus tenant-improvement allowances. At the 135,000-sf Corum Station Shopping Center at 4880 Louetta Rd. in Spring, Steve & Barry’s will backfill a Randall’s grocery and drug store. In the 1.2-million-sf mall at 20131 U.S. 59 N. in Humble, the deal backfills an empty Mervyns store.

Doug Calvin, real estate director for Port Washington, NY-based Steve & Barry’s, says upcoming tenant improvements will include wood flooring, plasma screen monitors and fixture systems. Both locations are scheduled to open within four months.
