Houston Retailers in the River Oaks District set opening

HOUSTON – Retailers in the River Oaks District, a high-end, mixed-use development under construction along Westheimer Rd. near the I-610 loop, will begin opening Oct. 1.

The retail center’s movie theater, an iPic Theater, has scheduled to open Oct. 30 — the date many holiday movies usually are released, said Greg Wattson, senior managing director of development for Oliver McMillan.

Also as part of construction, improvements are underway along Bettis Dr. to help with traffic flow, drainage improvements are being done along Westheimer Rd. and the property’s utilities have been moved underground, Wattson said.

Developers continue seeking additional retailers. The development features space for 70 retailers and will have eight restaurants.
