Construction Launches on $85M Seabrook Town Centre Near Houston After Lengthy Delay

Construction is finally moving forward on the long-awaited $85 million Seabrook Town Centre, a major new retail and commercial hub planned near Houston. The project, which sat in limbo for three years, is now officially underway and expected to become a key shopping and entertainment destination for the region.

The development sits at the intersection of State Highway 146 and Repsdorph Road, a high-traffic gateway connecting Seabrook to Houston, Clear Lake, and the Galveston Bay area. Once completed, Seabrook Town Centre will feature a mix of national retailers, dining options, and essential services spread across several buildings. The project is being developed by Houston-based Retail Connection.

Why the Project Matters

Seabrook Town Centre represents a significant economic boost for the fast-growing coastal corridor southeast of Houston. City leaders expect the development to attract new visitors, support local residents with expanded shopping access, and contribute to ongoing commercial revitalization efforts following major infrastructure improvements along the Highway 146 corridor.

Local businesses and residents have been anticipating the project since its initial announcement several years ago. Supply chain challenges, rising construction costs, and permitting delays postponed the start of work, but the developer now expects consistent progress.

What’s Next

Vertical construction is expected to advance throughout 2025, with tenant announcements expected in phases. Early plans show multiple pad sites for restaurants, as well as larger spaces designed for anchor tenants. Once complete, the development will position Seabrook as a stronger commercial player within the larger Houston metro area.
