NewQuest

We're thrilled to announce we've been named Brokerage Firm of the Year at the REDnews awards! Congratulations to all who make NewQuest a success!

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.

Exciting news! NewQuest has finalized leases in south and northwest Houston for EōS Fitness as part of the brand's strategic multi-state expansion plan in existing and new markets. Long-term leases have been signed for 53,829 sf and 41,013 sf of inline space in the Center at Baybrook in Webster and Easton Commons Plaza in northwest Houston. Both sites, slated to open in 2025, will host full-service gyms with cutting-edge amenities and outdoor workout areas. "Both locations are dense trade areas with healthy demographics that bode well for successful clubs," says Kevin Sims, senior vice president of NewQuest. He and colleagues Shireen Owlia and David Meyers are spearheading EoS Fitness' site search and lease negotiations in Greater Houston.

With the conclusion of Caroline Greebon's and Taggart Atwood's summer intern project, we are pleased to launch the new Spring Town Center website (springtowncenter.com)! Updated branding and more to follow. Congratulations to Caroline and Taggart, and a huge thank you to all the interns that made our summer successful!

Summer Intern Spotlight! This year we tasked our Marketing interns, Taggart Atwood and Caroline Greebon, with breathing fresh life into the branding strategy for one of our shopping centers. Suffice to say, they wowed us all - so much so that we've adopted their branding and personality for Spring Town Center moving forward. Congratulations!
