Kingwood will get a new 3,160-square-foot Chipotle Mexican Grill at 25661 Highway 59, adding to the Northpark retail area. Construction is expected to start in July and finish by December, with an estimated cost of $1.2 million.

According to a January 19 filing with the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation, the build-out covers roughly 3,160 square feet and is scheduled to start in July and conclude in December. Community Impact reported the filing on Wednesday.

Where it will go

The address in the filing, 25661 Hwy. 59, sits in a busy Northpark retail strip already crowded with fast casual spots and national tenants. A LoopNet listing for the site notes it is part of a shopping center anchored by a Kroger Marketplace and marketed for its strong freeway visibility.

Kingwood's retail momentum

If it opens on schedule, the new Chipotle will plug into a broader wave of grocery and restaurant moves across Kingwood. A recent Sprouts muscles into King's Crossing development and reporting in the Houston Chronicle about Trader Joe’s interest suggest national chains are increasingly targeting the area.

What to expect and next steps

Chipotle's standard lineup of burritos, bowls, salads, tacos and quesadillas is detailed on Chipotle. If the construction timeline in the filing holds, the Kingwood location could be ready in early 2027. Community Impact has said it will update its coverage as more details become available.
