Houston, TX – Avison Young is pleased to announce it has been awarded the leasing assignment for Commons at Willlowbrook, a 441,000-square-foot (sf) regional power center located at 7502 to 7950 Farm to Market 1960 Road in the heart of the affluent Willowbrook/Northwest submarket of Houston. Situated on 39 acres, the center, which is currently 85% occupied includes Marshalls, HomeGoods, Ross Dress for Less, Michael’s, Total Wine & More, ULTA Beauty, DSW, and Daiso, among others.

Avison Young Senior Vice President Vincent O’Toole is heading the leasing program on behalf of the ownership.

“Avison Young’s leasing strategy is concentrated on recruiting a mix of entertainment, fitness, service, home furnishings, and dining tenants to this high-profile center,” said O’Toole. “Commons at Willowbrook has performed well with more than 4.4 million annual visits over recent years and we believe that by attracting new complementary users, that crossover traffic will be elevated to the benefit of all the center’s tenants.”

He noted that the property is currently undergoing a capital improvement program including widening of the main access point, installation of new monument signage and pylons, and landscape design.

Located near the intersection of Highway 249 and FM 1960 Road, Commons at Willowbrook benefits from excellent visibility and accessibility. This prime location allows the property to attract a high volume of traffic, drawing in customers from both the local community and surrounding areas. With its desirable size and prominent placement, the property serves as a hub for retail and commercial activity in a thriving Houston neighborhood.

The Houston market has remained extremely resilient with retail occupancy rates surpassing 94% since 2020 due to the metro area's sustained population and job growth outpacing the national average. Over the past year, Houston has emerged as a top U.S. metro for retail space absorption, with discount stores, quick-service restaurants, and fitness users the primary drivers, accounting for roughly 50% of new leasing activity.
