About The Center
Pearland Town Center houses four anchor stores: Sports Authority, Barnes and Noble, Dillard's, and Macy's,. Designed by the Omniplan architectural firm, the center is home to several restaurants and retail stores that are new to the Pearland area. The center provides retail, residential, office and hotel space within the 1,100,000-square-foot (100,000 m2) open-air lifestyle center. A 110-room, four-story Courtyard by Marriott hotel is located above the center's retail shops near Macy's. Pearland Town Center includes office and multi-family residential space above the stores, a 25-acre (100,000 m2) lake and adjacent walking paths and parks. Pearland Town Center is one of two malls to open in the Houston area in 2008, along with Houston Premium Outlets in March 2008, and both utilize the "lifestyle center/outdoor mall" concept. The center contains the most recently constructed Dillard's and Macy's locations in Southeast Texas, since 2003.
Pearland Town Center houses 80 fashion retailers and specialty boutiques. It is estimated that Pearland Town Center will bring 1,500 jobs to the Pearland area and will generate $250 million in sales each year. The Macy’s store in Pearland Town Center is the first to be constructed in Houston after the integration of Foley’s with Macy’s and is the 17th location in the Houston area.
Pearland Town Center set a new standard in the shopping center industry by opening with 85% leased and committed (many unoccupied spaces). The level of leasing demonstrates the rapid growth of the Pearland market.

Famous quotes containing the word center:
“Columbus stood in his age as the pioneer of progress and enlightenment. The system of universal education is in our age the most prominent and salutary feature of the spirit of enlightenment, and it is peculiarly appropriate that the schools be made by the people the center of the day’s demonstration. Let the national flag float over every schoolhouse in the country and the exercises be such as shall impress upon our youth the patriotic duties of American citizenship.”
—Benjamin Harrison (1833–1901)
