• The City of Sugar Land is putting $12.5 million into modernizing Sugar Land Town Square, its 32-acre downtown mixed-use district southwest of Houston.
• Upgrades target office amenities, shared workspaces, landscaping, streetscaping and building entrances at Buildings B and H, plus property-wide tenant improvements.
• Primoris Services Corp. signed a 10-year, 25,352-square-foot lease, and about 17,370 square feet of new restaurant, retail and entertainment deals have been signed.

How Sugar Land Is Funding the $12.5M Town Square Upgrade

Sugar Land is reinvesting in its own downtown. In May 2025, the Sugar Land Development Corporation and Sugar Land 4B Corporation approved $12.5 million to modernize Sugar Land Town Square, the 32-acre district that opened in 2003 around a central plaza and City Hall. Both bodies are funded by voter-approved sales tax.

The district holds roughly 566,000 square feet of Class A office and 223,000 square feet of retail and restaurant space, plus 167 condos and a Marriott hotel and conference center. Rebees, the Dallas-based placemaking firm led by managing partner Tom Paterson, handles management, leasing and marketing and is leading the repositioning.

What the $12.5M Buys at Buildings B and H

The budget splits three ways:

• Building B ($6 million): New communal office and amenity space, collaborative work areas, and landscaping and streetscape improvements along City Walk. Rebees has already added a roughly $945,000 fitness center to the building.
• Building H ($2 million): At 2150 Town Square Place, a new entrance, lobby, signage and garden area, plus new furniture, fixtures and equipment.
• Tenant improvements ($4.5 million): Spread across the property to win new office tenants and keep the ones already there.

The City Walk landscape renovation wrapped in June. Work on the office buildings is set to finish by spring 2027.

Primoris Backfills Minute Maid's Former Floor

The biggest office win so far is Dallas-based Primoris Services Corp., a Fortune 500 infrastructure services company. It signed a 10-year lease for 25,352 square feet on the top floor of Building H at 2150 Town Square Place, taking over space Minute Maid used to occupy. Primoris expects to move in during 2027.

The lease pushes Town Square's office space to about 68% leased, and Building H to about 81%. Primoris represented itself. CBRE's Bubba Harkins, Jenny Sealy and Joel Douthit represented the landlord.

Five New Retail and Restaurant Tenants Join Town Square

On the retail side, Rebees signed about 17,370 square feet across five deals:

• Escapology Escape Rooms (5,366 SF) opened June 1 on Texas Drive.
• Insomnia Cookies (1,526 SF) opened July 11 on Lone Star Drive.
• Levant BBQ (4,001 SF), a halal spot that mixes Texas barbecue with Middle Eastern spices, opens its second Houston-area location in the former Ruggles Green space in late 2026 or early 2027.
• Nishat Mills (3,302 SF), a Stafford-based South Asian-inspired fashion brand that until now has sold online, is opening its first physical store.
• Majestic Kitchen (3,175 SF) is a new restaurant from Sugar Land residents Santosh and Supraja Cividi, the founders of Majestic Developers.

The mix adds evening and weekend traffic to a district that already has a full office workforce on weekdays.

What Comes Next for Sugar Land Town Square

The office renovations are on track to finish by spring 2027, and Primoris and Levant BBQ both arrive within the following year. If the remaining tenant improvement money lands more deals like Primoris, office occupancy has room to climb well past its current 68%.
