ProHouston Posted July 28, 2006 Share Posted July 28, 2006 Wow. I've never seen 2 locations for an anchor in the same mall. Especially surprised that it woudl happen in such a relatively small mall.Dillard's actually did this in several malls across the state when Montgomery Wards stores went out of business in the 90's. Therefore, this is a proven technique that should work out well.Aside from that, the Foley's parking garage seems to be going up very quick. Do we still think they're building a third garage outside the food court area? 3 garages seems like a lot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DORTEGA005 Posted August 6, 2006 Share Posted August 6, 2006 The third restaurant in FCM Lifestyle Expansion is BRIO. I know they have a location at the Woodlands Mall. Brio will be across from The CheeseCake Factory. Cant wait untill this Fall to see what the new expansion will look like? Lets say more palm trees, a nice large water fountain, and parking inside the new expansion. Like Sugarland Town Center you will be able to drive in between the new stores. Want a picture of the finished product email me at: dortega005@aol.comWell, thanks for your time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had driven by today and just assumed that. I didn't look in detail though to see if there were curbs. I just figured it would be pedestrian only.

stan the man Posted August 26, 2006 Share Posted August 26, 2006 Dillard's actually did this in several malls across the state when Montgomery Wards stores went out of business in the 90's. Therefore, this is a proven technique that should work out well.Aside from that, the Foley's parking garage seems to be going up very quick. Do we still think they're building a third garage outside the food court area? 3 garages seems like a lot.Baybrook Mall has 2 Dillard's stores, one at the north end and the other at the south end. The one at the south end was acquired in the Joske's takeover, and the one at the north was a Macy's before they sold all but the Galleria location in '95 or '96.

There is the main Store that anchors the north end of the mall, then near the center of the mall where Service Merchandise once occupied, they added "Dillard's Mens & Housewears" The mall calls them Dillards North, and Dillards South.www.postoakmall.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stan the man Posted December 30, 2006 Share Posted December 30, 2006 just saw the expansion:- A lot of stores renovated, moved around, etc., etc. (e.g. PacSun, Zales)- Several vacant spots still (such as the one where Ann Taylor was)- Some stores still not finished (Things Remembered, for example)- For some reason, the old Mervyn's looks like it's still vacant...no Dillard's sign like there was supposed to be (isn't it supposed to be a second store?)- The outside signs have changed to a more upscale, formal sign in copper and silver with a colonial font that has light accentuating the letters.

ProHouston Posted January 1, 2007 Share Posted January 1, 2007 Does anyone know what is being built next to the HEB at Hwy 6 and Dulles/Austin Parkway in First Colony?

DORTEGA005 Posted January 14, 2007 Share Posted January 14, 2007 The outdoor life-style still needs better stores. Do not get me wrong BN is a strong point. I believe they need a real Starbucks outside. However, with BN, Black & White Market, W. Sonoma, Ann Taylor are all great stores. They still need a store to attract young people. Oh yes and Anthropoligie is also a great move. A&F needs to come back and Urban Outfitters would also be nice (I know it's hard to imagine it). Also, more marketing for Sugarland and their attractions should increase in Houston magazines and papers. (Oh yes..COACH is also a very smart move to FCM).

DORTEGA005 Posted April 24, 2007 Share Posted April 24, 2007 First Colony Mall signs up more retailersBy KATHERINE FESERCopyright 2007 Houston ChronicleOpening this summer are: abercrombie Kids, a teen clothing store under construction; Abercrombie & Fitch, which will return in the space formerly occupied by Williams-Sonoma; The Levi's Store for its second Houston location; James Avery jewelry store; The Body Shop; and New York & Co., a women's apparel and accessories store.Coach recently opened an accessories store and Charlotte Russe plans to open an apparel and accessories store for young women this spring. In addition, Wet Seal will relocate this summer.The changes come as Sugar Land's First Colony Mall celebrated its 10 year anniversary last year. A renovation program began in 2005 with the addition of a restaurant plaza with The Cheesecake Factory and Kona Grill."We really felt like we wanted to be an entertainment and dining destination," said Aimee Braswell, the mall's marketing manager.The second phase of the renovation consisted of the Courtyard Shops, a 125,000-square-foot expansion with stores clustered around a landscaped plaza. Among the stores are Barnes & Noble, Williams-Sonoma, White House/Black Market, soma by Chico's and Coldwater Creek.Last year, the mall added 20 stores with 12 new to the market, including an Apple store and Pottery Barn. Four restaurants, yet to be named, will open in 2007 and 2008, Braswell said.Situated at U.S. 59 and Texas 6, First Colony Mall is anchored by Macy's, Dillard's and J.C. Penney. The recent additions bring the mall's size to 1,045,000 square feet.Dillard's has purchased the shuttered Mervyn's building and will shift some departments to the new store.First Colony Mall is owned and managed by General Growth Properties. Its other malls in the area include Baybrook, Deerbrook, The Woodlands Mall and Willowbrook.katherine.feser@chron.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
