Among the next projects to open will be Westlake Marketplace, a 450,000-sf retail center by Fidelis Realty Partners at Beltway 8 East and West Lake Houston Parkway. The first phase will be anchored by a 123,800-sf Kroger Marketplace. Other tenants will be Old Navy, Marshalls, Ross, Michaels, Burlington, Petsmart and Ulta.
