Beer fans in The Colony might want to keep an eye on Grandscape. Yard House is lining up a new Dallas-area outpost at the massive mixed-use destination, with plans to take over the former Rock & Brews space and launch a multimillion-dollar overhaul. A permit filing calls for roughly $4 million in work, with construction penciled in to start this July and wrap next spring, which would drop another national restaurant name into Grandscape’s already busy entertainment and dining mix if everything moves ahead.
Permit filing outlines scope and timeline
As reported by the Houston Chronicle, a permit submitted to the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation lists the Grandscape address as 5351 Nebraska Furniture Mart Dr., pegs the renovation budget at $4 million, and sets a July 2026 construction start with completion targeted for April 2027. The Chronicle noted that it reached out to Yard House for comment and would update its story if the company responds.
Grandscape site shows planned tenant
LoopNet marketing and leasing materials for Grandscape show Yard House slotted into the property’s tenant maps and pads, tucked in among the attraction anchors that already pull visitors from across the Metroplex. The space at 5351 Nebraska Furniture Mart Dr. previously housed Rock & Brews, which closed on June 1, 2025, according to CultureMap Dallas.
Texas footprint and Corpus Christi opening
Per Yard House, a Corpus Christi location is slated to open this summer. The Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation’s project record for that site puts the address at 5217 S. Padre Island Drive and shows another roughly $4 million budget with a construction window that would close in late July 2026. The chain, which launched in 1996 and now operates more than 90 locations nationwide, has been steadily adding markets across the Sun Belt, according to the Houston Chronicle.
Why Grandscape?
LoopNet figures show Grandscape pulled in roughly 10.7 million visits between August 2024 and July 2025. That kind of reliable foot traffic is catnip for big-box restaurant concepts and beer-forward operators that want packed dining rooms on weeknights and standing-room-only bar crowds on weekends.
What’s next
For now, everything hinges on the permitting process, lease details and an eventual company announcement to confirm Yard House’s exact plans and timing. The current permit filing sketches out a mid-2026 construction start, but those dates can always shift. We will keep an eye on The Colony’s public permitting records and Grandscape’s leasing updates to see when, or if, Yard House officially joins the development’s lineup.
