1.5 million square-foot project is the largest retail development under construction in the Houston area

Party City, the leading party goods retailer in North America, has announced plans to open a new 12,000-square-foot store in Valley Ranch Town Center in early December. Valley Ranch Town Center is the largest retail project under construction in the Houston area, encompassing 1.5 million square feet of development including 1 million square feet of retail and 500,000 square feet of residential, entertainment, civic and hospitality projects. Over 100 acres of parks, lakes and greenspace are part of the master plan, along with New Caney ISD’s 8,500-seat Texan Drive Stadium and 400-seat Natatorium.

Now well underway is Hobby Lobby, an industry leading retailer offering more than 75,000 arts, crafts, hobbies, home décor, holiday and seasonal products. The company operates nearly 700 stores across the country, and is preparing to open a 55,000-square-foot store in Valley Ranch Town Center in the first quarter of 2017.

"Excitement is building in Valley Ranch Town Center as we get ready to celebrate the opening of two more of the nation’s most popular retailers," said Brady Wilkins, Executive Vice President of The Signorelli Company. "Our major anchors, the 123,000-square-foot Kroger Marketplace®, Sam’s Club and Academy Sports + Outdoors are all under construction, as well as eight restaurants and dozens of specialty retailers in phase one of development. Phase one is expected to be completed this fall, with subsequent phases opening in 2017."

Valley Ranch Town Center is ideally situated at the newly-created intersection of the Grand Parkway and I-69 (US 59 North) just north of Kingwood, within the thriving 1,400-acre master-planned community of Valley Ranch, a Signorelli Community.

"Valley Ranch Town Center is a 15-minute commute to Bush Intercontinental Airport and 25 minutes to downtown Houston, in a trade area with an average household income of $88,237 within a 15-minute drive. The current population in the trade area of 195,424 is set to boom for years to come, thanks to available land and completion of major mobility projects such as the recent opening of the Grand Parkway at I-69," Wilkins said.

"We have already reached critical mass and have more big name anchor stores for Valley Ranch Town Center than anywhere else in the Houston area," said Eric Walker, Partner with Capital Retail Properties and the leasing agent for Valley Ranch Town Center. "Not only are prospective retailers impressed by the tenant lineup, they are also excited about the growth and promise of this entire area."
