NewQuest has purchased 18.5 acres from a local investor to develop a retail and residential project on the north side of Katy in Harris County. 

At the southwest corner of Morton and Porter roads, the developer has earmarked nearly seven acres for multi-tenant retail space and pad sites and 11.8 acres for 334 class A residential units that will be developed by Pelican Builders Inc. Pelican is planning to develop a modern farmhouse-style residential complex with high-end amenities – air-conditioned corridors, elevators and two community courtyards, one with a swimming pool. Units will average 865 sf, a mix of one-, two- and three-bedroom floor plans. Meeks + Partners of Houston is designing the project. Deliveries are planned to begin in March 2028. 

Retail plans call for a 10,860-sf multi-tenant building, scheduled to deliver in early 2028, and five pad sites, ready for construction in mid-2027. 

NewQuest anticipates construction will ramp up in early 2027 on the to-be-named development.
