Six months after opening two other Cy-Fair locations, H-E-B has purchased a 15-acre parcel of land in the future mixed-use Cypress Creek Town Center. Located at the corner of Tuckerton and Fry roads, the 90-acre development will feature commercial and retail options when construction begins on the project in the coming years.
Although there is not yet a timetable for the future H-E-B, the purchase was prompted by the area’s continued population growth and density, said Cyndy Garza, public affairs director for H-E-B.
Mischer Development, developer of the 1600-acre master-planned Cypress Creek Lakes community, has recently started commercial and retail expansion on several reserves within the 1600 acre development. Cypress Creek Lakes is located in the US 290 corridor south of Cypress Creek on the east side of Fry Road. H-E-B purchased 15 acres on the northeast corner of Tuckerton and Fry Road. This parcel of land is within the 90 acre mixed use reserve that will be known as the Cypress Creek Lakes Town Center.
