Pearl Hospitality Plans Ground-Floor Redo of Medical Towers Building

Pearl Hospitality announced plans to redevelop the street-level retail at the historic Medical Towers Building in Houston’s Texas Medical District. The 24,000-square-foot space will coincide with the Houston-headquartered Pearl Hospitality’s renovation of the building’s tower into the Westin Houston Medical Center.

The ground-floor renovations will focus on upgraded storefronts, as well as dedicated patio areas and lush landscaping. National and local tenants, including MOD Pizza, Roti Modern Mediterranean, Poke in the Bowl, Antone’s, JuiceLand, SusieCakes and The Halal Guys signed 10-year leases. Existing tenants, including Starbucks, Chipotle and Cliff’s Grill, signed lease extensions, as well.

“The Texas Medical Center market brings a unique mixture of visitors, employees, students, physicians and patients that interact in a concentrated area every single day,” said Christie Amezquita, CCIM, with Shop Companies, the landlord representative. She went on to say that Pearl Hospitality’s ground-floor renovation will offer the perfect amenity to serve such a diverse community.”
