MetroNational, the privately-held real estate investment, development and management company behind west Houston’s iconic Memorial City acquired the open-air retail component at neighboring CityCentre in Houston.
Positioned at the southeast corner of I-10 and Beltway 8, the 47-acre, pedestrian-oriented CityCentre offers exceptional visibility and connectivity. Similarly to Memorial City it serves affluent surrounding neighborhoods as well as onsite office, multifamily and hospitality users.
The 309,144-square-foot acquisition adds to MetroNational’s August 2025 purchase of 990 Town & Country Blvd., a 442,042-square-foot, Class AA office tower anchoring the development’s northern gateway.
MetroNational represented itself in the transaction, with JLL serving as the broker representing TriGate Capital in the sale.
In addition, MetroNational has partnered with Radom Capital to reimagine and elevate the retail experience at CityCentre, leveraging Radom’s expertise in creating experiential mixed-use retail destinations. This collaboration mirrors the successful partnership at Greenside, where Radom Capital is also leading the retail strategy. Greenside is a family-friendly adaptive reuse project located just north of I-10 at 1085 Gessner Road, with nearly an acre of green space surrounded by retail, dining, wellness and beauty experiences.
Debuting in 2009, CityCentre has earned national recognition for its design and carefully curated tenant mix. Framing a central green space, the retail component features approximately two dozen food and beverage concepts, from fast casual to fine dining, including Bellagreen, Daily Gather, Eddie V’s Prime Seafood, Grimaldi’s Pizzeria, Hopdoddy Burger Bar, North Italia, Sal y Pimienta, Seasons 52, The Capital Grille and Yard House. Popular retailers include Allen Edmonds, Anthropologie, Kendra Scott, Sephora, Sur la Table, Tecovas, Warby Parker and West Elm, complemented by services and entertainment such as Anthony Vince Nail Spa, Bowl & Barrel, Smashed Clay Co., Star Cinema Grill, and The Escape Room. Recent additions include American Threads, Rowan, Southern Tide and Great Big Game Show.
MetroNational ranks among Houston’s largest commercial property owners with Memorial City alone encompassing more than 10 million square feet of developed real estate.
