NewQuest Properties has sold Cy-Fair Town Center to a local retail investor, one of 11 offers placed during a fast-paced bidding war for the prized class A project in northwest Houston.
The fully leased project, totaling 9,100 sf, is surrounded by NewQuest-developed retail. The just-sold four-tenant building at 13621 Skinner Rd. in Cypress is shadow-anchored by an 80,951-sf Kroger and fully leased small shops.
“There were at least five offers placed within 48 hours of the listing coming out. We had an immediate response from coast to coast,” says Dakota Workman, vice president of Houston-based NewQuest’s investment sales division.
The winner of the bidding frenzy was Cy-Fair Center LLC, which owns 30 properties in Greater Houston. The sale was finalized within 60 days through direct negotiations with the NewQuest marketing team of Marc Peeler, Rick Ragan, Thomas Turner, Davis Sheffield and Workman.
“In a high interest-rate environment, we really needed to do our due diligence on the buyer’s profile,” says Marc Peeler, senior vice president in investment sales. “The buyer was the most qualified of the 11 offers in terms of timing and the ability to close.”
Cy-Fair Town Center was developed in 2015 on a 0.84-acre tract, which NewQuest had retained following the sale of the surrounding retail about 15 years ago. Tenants are Pamper Nail Resort, an original lessee, Mr. Pho, Glo Sun Spa and American Family Care.
The one-mile trade area has experienced a 72% uptick in population in the past three years, with its 11,269 residents representing just a fraction of the more than 205,000 who live within five miles of the property. The average annual household income tops $160,000.
Cy-Fair Town Center is situated at the hard corner of Spring Cypress and Skinner roads, which has a combined traffic count of nearly 28,000 vehicles per day. Northwest Freeway is close by as are three Cy-Fair Independent School District campuses.
“Due to the local demographics and growth, we were pretty confident this center was going to sell quickly,” Peeler says.
