Sam’s Club to Anchor New Baytown Power Center

Sam’s Club will be part of the San Jacinto Marketplace, a 550,000-square-foot shopping center with 10 anchor tenants making up 75% of all retail space, restaurants, multitenant buildings and pad sites; one or two three-story apartment complexes; a hotel; and office buildings. Sam’s Club will develop the new store at 6611 Garth Road for an estimated $22.1 million. Most stores average about 134,000 square feet.

The Houston Business Journal reports Fidelis Realty Partners is developing San Jacinto Marketplace on the 103.8-acre site of the former San Jacinto Mall at Interstate 10 and Garth Road. The developer finished the demolition of the old mall in 2022 and broke ground on sitework for the new mixed-use development last October.

Fidelis signed a Chapter 380 agreement with the city of Baytown, granting the developer sales tax rebates up to $16.2 million.
