psilverot Posted March 2, 2007 Share Posted March 2, 2007 Hi, I've noticed that Willowbrook Mall recently tore down what used to be Lord & Taylor. There's a sign that reads "FUTURE COURT." Does anyone know what Future Court is or will be? Please reply..... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

psilverot Posted March 7, 2007 Author Share Posted March 7, 2007 Just a Maggiano's? Anything Else? that's really interesting? It's also good for the area.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrfootball Posted March 7, 2007 Share Posted March 7, 2007 I don't mind re-development of existing properties for something better. I love Maggianos. If you haven't been before (to the one on Post Oak), you're in for a real treat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Houston1stWordOnTheMoon Posted March 7, 2007 Share Posted March 7, 2007 I don't mind re-development of existing properties for something better.Agreed, but im sure you know it isnt just redevelopment, its expansion. The traffic here is already a freakin nightmare and Xmas time, its even worst. I literally dread leaving my home and getting on FM 1960 and surrounding main streets. Absolutely insane!

psilverot Posted March 30, 2007 Author Share Posted March 30, 2007 Noticed some new tenants at the mall today like Luck Brand, and Pumpkin Patch?

mrfootball Posted March 30, 2007 Share Posted March 30, 2007 Willowbrook is one of the top-performing malls in the Houston area, having enjoyed a virtual mall-opoly over a huge swath of NW Harris County (a market of around 1 million residents). They are about to face some competition and appear to be upgrading their offerings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psilverot Posted March 30, 2007 Author Share Posted March 30, 2007 Glad to hear Willowbrook is upgrading... About time!!! People tend to refer to Willowbrook as the "Next Greenspoint". I don't believe it's going to happen. The area is way too developed with nice things. I think Willowbrook deserves the high end retailers. It would take a lot (too much) for the mall to have an overturn.

psilverot Posted June 3, 2007 Author Share Posted June 3, 2007 Looks like Willowbrook is going through some major changes. A lot of the stores are remodeling. I noticed that they even took out some of the seating areas with the palm trees. I wonder what they are up to. Pretty cool... Still nothing on the old Lord & Taylor site. They just bulldozed the whole thing and left it there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pookrat Posted June 20, 2007 Share Posted June 20, 2007 (edited) Where would/is Maggiano's going to go? IN the mall? I don't know about that. I love Magianno's but that seems like it would take away from some of the ambiance. Maybe they could pick up one of the other restaurants that have been closed for some time. Maybe like the old Champps building. I would think they would have come down a little in price beng they closed because of retail real estate values (rumor has it) and it hasn't had a tennant since. That would be a great spot for them. Or maybe new contruction a little further north by that new neighborhood/high end retail area thats going up off Louetta near HP.

mrfootball Posted June 20, 2007 Share Posted June 20, 2007 I think Vintage Park would be a great place for a Maggianos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psilverot Posted July 2, 2007 Author Share Posted July 2, 2007 Looks like they stopped the plans on the old Lord and Taylor site. The metal fencings was taken down. The mall is still going through some major remodeling. It's starting to look really nice... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psilverot Posted August 5, 2007 Author Share Posted August 5, 2007 New stores: *Swarovski *Build a Bear :closedeyes: *Vans *Hollister :closedeyes: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CreekDweller Posted August 9, 2007 Share Posted August 9, 2007 New stores:*Swarovski *Build a Bear :closedeyes: *Vans *Hollister :closedeyes: Willowbrook is always a couple of years behind The Woodlands Mall in terms of which stores they get. What next, an Apple store? I heard through the grapevine that Willowbrook is supposed to be getting a Neiman Marcus but that seems like a weird place to put one. One thing that has always surprised me about The Woodlands is that it's probably the only "affluent" mall I can think of that doesn't have a Starbucks (not counting the cafe in Barnes & Noble that serves Starbucks).

PureAuteur Posted August 16, 2007 Share Posted August 16, 2007 There is a sign near the old Circuit City building that says "new Willowbrook shopping center coming soon". Are they going to tear down that entire center with the Laff Spot, Shannons Street Waves, and Baker Street Pub? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psilverot Posted August 17, 2007 Author Share Posted August 17, 2007 I had the same question....There is a sign near the old Circuit City building that says "new Willowbrook shopping center coming soon".

JFive Posted September 11, 2007 Share Posted September 11, 2007 What's all this construction going on at Willowbrook Mall about? I noticed they are getting "Amuse." What's that? just curious..... Amuse is an accessory store. Like Claire's or Icing. Looks like Willowbrook is going through some major changes. A lot of the stores are remodeling. I noticed that they even took out some of the seating areas with the palm trees. I wonder what they are up to. Pretty cool... Still nothing on the old Lord & Taylor site. They just bulldozed the whole thing and left it there. The seating areas were removed to clear space for merchandise carts. During holiday shopping, those things are just in the way. The former Joske's/Dillards/Lord & Taylor site is known as Future Court. It's believed to be the new home of a second food court, arcade and entrance. New stores:*Swarovski *Build a Bear :closedeyes: *Vans *Hollister :closedeyes: Hollister is now open. Add Love Culture and Torrid to the list of stores coming soon. Disney Store should be open in the fall. There is a sign near the old Circuit City building that says "new Willowbrook shopping center coming soon". Are they going to tear down that entire center with the Laff Spot, Shannons Street Waves, and Baker Street Pub? More of a renovation project than anything. Baker Street Pub won't be included since their in a newer, different strip altogether. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

houstonmacbro Posted December 9, 2007 Share Posted December 9, 2007 There is a sign near the old Circuit City building that says "new Willowbrook shopping center coming soon". Are they going to tear down that entire center with the Laff Spot, Shannons Street Waves, and Baker Street Pub?I've always thought they have way too much parking and not enough stores. The parking lot off 1960 is huge and the stores don't start for like 1/4 mile from the road. They certainly have room to expand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cnote Posted December 14, 2007 Share Posted December 14, 2007 I dont know if anyone saw it, but there was yet another news report on Channel 13 the other day about HPD stepping up its police presence along 1960 between 249 and I-45. The crime is getting pretty bad there. They really need to do somethingMy wife no longer goes to Willowbrook mall because she doesn't feel safe. On two occasions she has had shady characters trailing her in the parking lot until she brought out her mace and turned to face them. Since we have a new baby, my wife actually drives to the Galleria to go to the mall!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

psilverot Posted February 6, 2008 Author Share Posted February 6, 2008 Looks like Brookstone is shutting down. I wonder what's going in. F.Y.E. has already closed its door and AERIE is supposedly taking its place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrfootball Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 I don't like going there anymore. It's one of the highest grossing malls in the Houston area, they need to invest some money in that place.Better yet, we need a Mall in Cypress.

cnote Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 I have thought about a Mall in Cypress, but I don't think I want one...just look what happens to them over time. The only nice malls I know of are the Galleria (tourist destination...still has some bad elements) and the Woodlands Mall which is also the newest. Also, most malls that are still considered "nice" have undergone major renovations and redevelopments recently...where is this for Willowbrook??? They need to do some serious work on Willowbrook to make it lighter and less clostrophobic feeling. It seems people want to be outdoors again, so that is probably what we will get in Cypress..and I am fine with that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
