NewQuest

This week, NewQuest hosted the Realty Resources's Annual Fall Brokerage and Marketing/Technology Summit, bringing 200 of the brightest minds in the commercial real estate space from all across the country under one roof for two days of panels, networking, events, and collaboration. Thank you to all of our sponsors, attendees, participants, panelists, and speakers, and particularly to Shireen Owlia and Rachel Gilbert Krupnick for an amazing event! See you again next year!

Congrats to NewQuest's client Quick Quack! Quick Quack Car Wash is under construction on its 31st location in Houston, immediately jumping into action after securing its first site inside the loop along Westheimer Road. It’s the third transaction in three weeks to reach the finish line in Houston for NewQuest’s Rebecca Le, the California-based car wash chain’s tenant representative in the region. Quick Quack is eyeing a Q1 opening at 9300 Westheimer Rd. in Houston, where it’s ground-leased a 1.38-acre vacant tract. Quick Quack is developing a 108-foot tunnel with 13 vacuum stations on a site that features two curb cuts and 140 feet of frontage along Westheimer Road.

The Grand at Aliana continues to grow!   With six signed leases in hand, NewQuest is ready to break ground on a 19,000-sf multi-tenant retail building in the Grand at Aliana Phase III in Fort Bend County. Snapping up space in the new building are Milano Nails, America’s Best, Five Guys, Dunkin Donuts, Firehouse Subs and Buffalo Wild Wings Go.   “It’s been extremely busy since Costco opened. Phase III is attracting a lot of quality national brand operators,” says Josh Friedlander, Director of Leasing and development partner of NewQuest. He partners with colleague David Meyers to lease the Grand at Aliana.   The Grand at Aliana, totaling 65 acres, fronts the Grand Parkway/TX 99 in Richmond, home to one of the largest and fastest-growing retail corridors in Texas. The project’s three phases have a build-out capacity of 665,000 sf of mixed-use space and 350 apartments.   Congratulations to Josh Friedlander and David Meyers, along with tenant representatives Brett Strake, Rebecca Le, Shireen Owlia, and Diandra Breen. To read more visit: https://bit.ly/3XlVMW9

NewQuest has gained another national brand, Harbor Freight Tools, for the line-up at Pasadena Town Center, filling the only retail vacancy, totaling 20,810 sf, and injecting new energy into the southeast Houston project. Harbor Freight has leased the former Goodwill store, which closed in 2023 and abuts the development’s longtime anchor, Ross Dress for Less. Construction on the second-generation space began within days of the lease signing. “Pasadena Town Center has an extremely loyal customer base,” says Bob Conwell, senior vice president of Houston-based NewQuest and the project’s leasing agent. “It will be a good store for Harbor Freight.” To read more about the new Harbor Freight location as well as the rest of this week's press releases, visit https://lnkd.in/grNqp9ZQ.
