New development with 1-acre green space coming to Memorial City area

MEMORIAL CITY, Texas -- The rapidly growing area around Memorial City Mall will soon add another new development called Greenside.

The video above is from ABC13's 24/7 livestream.

The area will transform a group of industrial buildings into a mix of restaurants, retail stores, and other family-friendly businesses.

Located just north of Memorial City Mall at 1085 Gessner Rd., Greenside unites Memorial City owner Metronational with Radom Capital, the Houston-based developer behind M-K-T Heights, the Montrose Collective, and the ongoing redevelopment of the historic Tower Theater. They've retained the Texas-based Michael Hsu Office of Architecture to transform a group of industrial warehouses into 35,000 square feet of new businesses.

Plans call for a one-acre green space with a mix of seating options and strings of lights. Walkways will connect Greenside with nearby restaurants and bars, such as Torchy's Taco, Mia's Table, and Kirby Ice House.
