THE WOODLANDS, TX-- Fogo de Chão has signed a lease agreement to open its Brazilian steakhouse at Hughes Landing, a 66-acre mixed-use development.

According to developer The Woodlands Development Co., a wholly-owned subsidiary of The Howard Hughes Corp., this will be the first location in The Woodlands for Fogo de Chão, and the second Houston-area location. The Westheimer location in Houston was the second Fogo de Chão in the U.S., having opened its doors in February 2000.

“We are excited to welcome Fogo de Chão and know its fine dining experience will complement the amazing lineup of upscale eateries in Restaurant Row at Hughes Landing,” says Paul Layne, executive vice president of Master Planned Communities for The Howard Hughes Corp. “Hughes Landing is a dynamic, walkable lifestyle intersection offering retail, restaurants, multifamily residences, class A office space and a future Embassy Suites hotel.”
