Greenspoint Mall redevelopment will bring $150 million Industrial Park to North Houston. 23 September, 2026 The former Greenspoint Mall will become a $150 million industrial park under a major North Houston redevelopment plan. The Greenspoint Mall redevelopment will replace the aging retail property with industrial buildings, commercial services and new employment opportunities. Lincoln Property Company and New York Life Investment Management announced the project this week. Demolition is scheduled to begin in October 2026. Greenspoint Mall redevelopment covers 80 acres. The developers acquired approximately 80 acres at 12300 North Freeway, near Interstate 45 and Beltway 8. The site will become CityNorth Industrial Park, a 1.2 million-square-foot industrial campus. Plans call for cross-dock and rear-load buildings serving logistics, distribution and other industrial companies. Cross-dock facilities allow businesses to transfer goods quickly between arriving and departing trucks. The campus will also include retail and service businesses. However, developers have not announced the final number or sizes of the planned buildings. The property offers direct access to Interstate 45, Beltway 8 and the Hardy Toll Road. George Bush Intercontinental Airport is about seven miles away. Lincoln Executive Vice President Gabe Lerner said the site could accommodate large distribution operations and smaller companies seeking a North Houston location. The first phase is expected to open during the first quarter of 2028, according to Commercial Property Executive. Project could support 1,200 permanent jobs. Developers estimate the project will support approximately 300 construction jobs. Once completed, CityNorth Industrial Park could accommodate about 1,200 full-time positions. Fitness Connection, one of the mall's last remaining businesses, will stay at the property. The gym will move into a planned 45,500-square-foot facility built specifically for the company. Powers Brown Architecture will serve as the project architect. Kimley-Horn is the civil engineer, while E.E. Reed Construction will oversee general construction. Lincoln and New York Life acquired the property from Triyar Cannon Group. The companies did not publicly disclose the purchase price. Kevin Wyatt, an executive vice president at Lincoln, called the redevelopment an important opportunity for the area. "CityNorth Industrial Park will return a prominent property to productive use," Wyatt said in the developers' announcement. New chapter for a former Houston shopping center. Greenspoint Mall opened in 1976 and once ranked as Houston's largest shopping center. It served North Houston for nearly five decades before losing major retailers and most of its customer traffic. The mall's remaining stores closed in 2024. Years of declining activity had prompted several redevelopment proposals, including plans for housing, parks and mixed-use construction. Houston Mayor John Whitmire said the industrial project could bring investment and jobs to the Greenspoint and Aldine ISD communities. He also cited plans for a Houston Police Department North Belt station and a replacement for Houston Fire Station 84. The city established the Greater Greenspoint Tax Increment Reinvestment Zone to support the area's revitalization. The zone can help fund infrastructure, drainage, mobility and other eligible public improvements. However, officials have not disclosed specific public funding commitments for CityNorth Industrial Park. The project also connects with Lincoln's existing CityNorth office campus. The company acquired the former ExxonMobil office complex in Greenspoint in 2017 and began renovating it under the CityNorth name. After years of uncertainty, the Greenspoint Mall redevelopment gives the prominent site a defined construction schedule. Residents can expect demolition activity beginning in October, followed by several years of industrial development and related infrastructure work.

Greenspoint Mall site to be redeveloped into $150 million industrial park, developers say. HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) - The Greenspoint Mall site will be leveled and transformed into a $150 million industrial park, developers announced on Tuesday. Lincoln, in association with New York Life Investment Management, announced the acquisition of the mall site and showcased plans for CityNorth Industrial Park. According to developers, the park will be located at 12300 North Freeway on the northeast corner of I-45 and Beltway 8. "Greenspoint Mall was an important part of North Houston for nearly five decades, and its redevelopment represents a defining opportunity for the area," said Kevin Wyatt, Executive Vice President for Lincoln. "CityNorth Industrial Park will return a prominent property to productive use and support the continued growth of the Greenspoint community." The $150 million project will create 300 construction jobs and 1,200 permanent jobs in the coming years, according to developers, and include a business retail space. "As a longtime Houston resident, I have witnessed both the proud days of Greenspoint Mall and the unfortunate neglect the mall and the Greenspoint community have suffered for too long," said Houston Mayor John Whitmire. "I have worked hard with Lincoln and other stakeholders to make Greenspoint and, by extension, the Aldine ISD community regain its once proud stature with the redevelopment that will bring us the CityNorth Industrial Park. This redevelopment will create new jobs, attract businesses, and improve the quality of life in Greenspoint. Combined with the upcoming Houston Police North Belt Station and the Fire Department's Station 84, the CityNorth Industrial Park is one more example that Houston is going in the right direction." According to developers, the demolition of the mall is expected to begin in October of this year, with the first phase scheduled to be finished in the first quarter of 2028.

Texas' tallest tower completes construction two months ahead of schedule. Aug 31, 2026, 09:01 ET More than 6,800 skilled workers and 150 trade partners helped DPR Construction build Austin's 74-story Waterline, "a city within a city" that combines five distinct uses and integrates with the downtown environment AUSTIN, Texas, Aug. 31, 2026 /PRNewswire/ - DPR Construction, a forward-thinking, self-performing builder, announced construction completion of Waterline, the 74-story mixed-use tower at 98 Red River Street. The tower rises 1,025 feet above downtown Austin and stands as the tallest building in Texas. Construction wrapped up in 48 months, two months ahead of a 50-month planned schedule. Spanning 2.7 million square feet with a footprint of more than three acres, the tower integrates residential, hotel, office, retail and parking into a single vertical destination - what one partner described as "a city within a city." It also creates a vibrant new ground-level connection to Waterloo Greenway's 13-acre Confluence, which opened in June. "Waterline pushed every assumption about scale, complexity and coordination," said DPR Project Executive Brett Bickford. "This was a massive undertaking, and we wouldn't be where we are today without our talented and resilient team of skilled craft professionals and trade partners." Bickford noted that DPR's dedicated self-perform team was what made delivery ahead of schedule possible. This allowed the project team to manage critical scopes with their own workforce, providing greater control over quality and schedule, which led to more predictable outcomes. "This monumental and highly complex project reflects what's possible when an extraordinary team aligns around a shared vision and never loses focus on execution," said Seth Johnston, Executive Vice President of Lincoln Property Company, which co-developed the project with Kairoi Residential. Construction involved more than 150 trade partners and 6,800 skilled workers, who recorded approximately 4.5 million worker hours. Roughly 1,000 workers were onsite during peak activity. The DPR team also placed approximately 150,000 cubic yards of concrete - enough to fill 46 Olympic-sized swimming pools - including building more than 92 individual sculptural columns (15 installed on the roof). "Delivering a project of this size, scale, and technical complexity requires trust, collaboration, resilience, and relentless commitment. And to get it done ahead of schedule is almost unheard of," said Bryan Kent, DPR's Central Texas Business Unit Leader. "Thousands of people helped bring Waterline to life, and their contributions have shaped Austin's skyline and strengthened how people experience and connect with our city. DPR is proud and thankful to have been part of it." KEY PARTNERS: Development Partners: Lincoln Property Company and Kairoi Residential Design Architect: KPF Architect of Record: HKS, Inc.
