Rockrz Posted July 25, 2007 Share Posted July 25, 2007 Has anyone seen any news stories or press releases concerning the Super Wal-Mart going in at the NE corner of Silber Rd at IH10 aka Katy Fwy (just west of 610 and IH10 in 77024)???I was over there a few days ago and just behind the big workout Gym (can't remember the name of the gym) on Silber Rd there is a gigantic open field. This has to be where it's going to be built. They're probably waiting until some of the road work is complete before starting construction.I've not be able to find any press releases or news stories about this new Super Wal-Mart, so if anyone come across anything on this, please let me know. Thanx! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brak Posted July 25, 2007 Share Posted July 25, 2007 Is there a large posted sign noting the name of the Developer? That is a good place to start.......... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rockrz Posted July 25, 2007 Author Share Posted July 25, 2007 Yes, but they say they aren't discussing development plans.Not sure why they wouldn't want to talk about it.At any rate, I heard from a commercial real estate guy that specializes in retail properties that there was going to be a Wal-Mart going in here.It's possible that since there is alot of road construction going on in this area, they may be waiting till some of that is complete before starting construction or making any public announcements concerning this developement.

Trae Posted July 25, 2007 Share Posted July 25, 2007 I wish it was a Target. Is there already a Target in the area? I can't remember. There is one at Memorial City, but I don't know if that is the closest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bcnet Posted July 26, 2007 Share Posted July 26, 2007 There is another Target on San Felipe just inside 610, a few miles away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rockrz Posted July 26, 2007 Author Share Posted July 26, 2007 I dunno. I saw were others were discussing Wal-Mart in west Houston so I figured this would be a good place to inquire... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Porchman Posted July 26, 2007 Share Posted July 26, 2007 Has anyone seen any news stories or press releases concerning the Super Wal-Mart going in at the NE corner of Silber Rd at IH10 aka Katy Fwy (just west of 610 and IH10 in 77024)???Isn't the NE corner of that intersection the Marq-E Entertainment Center? I can't believe they'd shove a Super Wal-Mart in there. Oh, wait, I forgot we're in Houston. Although, seriously, I don't think there's enough room to put up a building that size and have enough room to meet the minimum parking space requirement.I wish it was a Target. Is there already a Target in the area? I can't remember. There is one at Memorial City, but I don't know if that is the closest.There's also a new Target at Sawyer and 10 between Woodland Heights and the 6th Ward. I think that would close the triangle on one in the Silber/10 locale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, that would do it, alright. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rockrz Posted July 26, 2007 Author Share Posted July 26, 2007 It looks as though that big vacant lot was cleared of whatever not too long ago as there is about waist high growth in there now.Whoever the developer is probably bought out any old houses, buildings, etc that used to be in that area to make it available for Wally World.

It backs up to some blank light industrial on N Post Oak, so that may have been its prior use. The Dodge Dealer had an ancillary lot there for a while.

Robert21979 Posted August 3, 2007 Share Posted August 3, 2007 I've worked in the area for a few years now, some of that area use to be a couple of old abandoned warehouses but most was owned by Courtesy Chevrolet and was used for their used cars/fleet service/and some of the new car inventory. Since Courtesy Chevrolet is no longer opened thanks to Katy Freeway expansion I'm sure they sold it to whomever sold it to Walmart Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bcnet Posted August 3, 2007 Share Posted August 3, 2007 That entire site (include where the Marque Entertainment center sits now) was formerly Cameron Iron works facility from 1940s - late 1980's. There was quite a bit of environmental cleanup needed after the plant was closed and removed.This site explains it:Silber Road Site Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

usc619 Posted August 9, 2010 Share Posted August 9, 2010 We could use a new Wal-mart in that area, I'm glad we're getting a new one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is still a shortage of Walmarts accessible to the innerloop compared to the number of Targets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geezlouise Posted August 13, 2011 Share Posted August 13, 2011 I came across this today. How about some good chicken in that part of town! I'm pretty excited!The project has about 350,000 square feet of retail, including newer stores that have been added closer to Silber. Fidelis is in negotiations to add Chick-fil-A to the tenant rosterRead more: http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/business/sarnoff/7574747.html#ixzz1UvUDzBlw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
