I've been out of town the last several weeks, but I saw the signs for the 518 "Grand Opening" on October 30. I wonder what the delay is. It looks like the road is ready to go. I'm excited about the opening this week. Can't wait to check out the sushi bar and what types of fish they are going to have available in the expanded fish market.

518 is open. It goes to one lane each way a little bit past Kirby.

I don't know if this excites anyone, but Pearland TC has added a few more store.

<h1 class="headline">Pearland Town Center adds more retailers to growing roster</h1>

Houston Business Journal - 3:15 PM CDT Thursday, August 30, 2007by Houston Business Journal

One year prior to its opening, Pearland Town Center has signed on seven new retailers.

Hot Topic, Torrid, The Walking Co., Hallmark, General Nutrition Center, Stride Rite, Paciugo Italian Gelato & Cafe and Jugo Juice have all joined the roster of retailers at the 1.2 million-square-foot center, located at FM 518 and Highway 288.

The new stores will join anchors Dillard's, Macy's and Barnes & Noble in the center, which is scheduled to open in summer 2008.

Pearland Town Center will combine a 710,000-square-foot lifestyle center, a 110-room Courtyard by Marriott Hotel and residential and office space above retail.

The project, which is being developed by Chattanooga, Tenn.-based CBL & Associates Inc. (NYSE: CBL) also includes a 25-acre lake and miles of walking paths and parks.

that has to be the most "plain jane" mansion kitchen in existence.

the house seems very ummm... maybe the word is utilitarian.

the space is there but decor does not fit "mansion".

the inside looks like a 1980's community center or something (from the har pictures anyway)

Clearly this was used for something other than a personal residence; the builder's package fixtures, the dropped ceiling w/ flourescent lighting, the conference room,the office, the game room looks like a break area, th pool area looks like a public facility. I am thinking that this was some sort of group home. Man that's some TRASH!!

I wondered what they were going to do with those things.

I think it's great and pretty quirky for the suburbs. Actually, these days that might be the only place they wouldn't be protested in some form.

And the Bass Pro Shops construction is pretty darn exciting too....

That Bass Pro Shop is HUGE!! I think I remember reading that it is the largest in the country (don't quote me). Also will be the largest HEB in the State on 518. Along with the largest presidential heads. We also have the largest tax rate..........go figure. On a serious note, I don't know how all these projects are going to fill their space. Ever wonder why the Shoppes at the Spectrum is flying under the radar (i.e. no press releases)? Ever notice how those new strip malls on FM2234 are doing....vacanct!! Maybe they are waiting for the street to be widened.

Any updates on the Bass Pro construction? Will be moving to Pearland in August and anxious to visit this magnificent store!

If you go to the City of Pearland website and select the Dept of Economic Development, they have pictorial updates of the Bass Pro site. They take pictures roughly twice a week and post.

New businesses that have signed on to Pearland Town Center are:
