Hughes Landing is getting a new place to stock the cabinets this fall, as Williams Sonoma readies a shop on Retail Row in The Woodlands. The lakeside spot is set to bring the retailer's lineup of kitchenware, cookware, small appliances, home furnishings and gourmet food items to the neighborhood.
Developer Announces Retail Addition
Howard Hughes announced the lease for a roughly 5,000-square-foot Williams Sonoma on March 25, according to Community Impact. The report notes the store will sit on Retail Row at Hughes Landing and offer the brand's signature spread of home and kitchen goods.
Hiring And Local Buzz
A jobs posting on Uloop lists openings for a general manager and other store roles at a "Hughes Landing (New Store)," suggesting the company is staffing up ahead of the in-store debut. Local real estate coverage has also flagged the retailer among new shops headed to the area, per a January roundup on Home Sweet Houston.
Permits And Fit-Out Timeline
Construction filings cited in Community Impact's e-edition show renovations and alterations to a roughly 5,296-square-foot space at Hughes Landing were slated to begin Jan. 5 and run through July 7, pointing to an active fit-out schedule. The listing identified the work as a Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation filing.
What It Means For Hughes Landing
Hughes Landing, a master-planned, mixed-use district developed by The Howard Hughes Corporation, has positioned its Retail Row to attract lifestyle and specialty retailers, making Williams Sonoma a natural match for the lakeside center. The development's blend of offices, apartments, restaurants and waterfront public space has helped bring national brands into the fold, according to Howard Hughes' filings and local reporting such as Hello Woodlands.
