Levcor unveiled a redesign of the MarqE retail complex that will bring new outdoor and retail spaces to the shopping, dining and entertainment complex near the Spring Branch and Memorial areas.
The Houston-based developer, which has owned the center since 2014, plans to start construction in May and will roll out additional phases through 2022.
“MarqE has long served as a dynamic destination for family-friendly shopping and dining available in our city,” Levcor Vice President Justin Levine said in an announcement. “Modernizing the functionality of MarqE will create a better-connected environment for our guests and retail partners, while updating the aesthetics will create a fresh and inviting center for locals and visitors, alike.”

Built in 1999, MarqE spans more than 350,000 square feet on 36 acres at the northeast corner of Interstate 10 and Silber, just outside Loop 610. The center, which is anchored by Dave & Buster’s, Edwards Cinema and LA Fitness, is 90 percent leased. Tenants not affected by COVID will remain open during renovations.
BRR is the architect for the project. The cost was not disclosed.
The additions, which are designed to make better use of the outdoors, will include shaded structures connecting the buildings, gathering spaces, oversized art and play structures. The storefronts will be heightened to bring in more natural light and enhance the retailers' visibility from Interstate 10.
Large canopied trees will be brought in as part of an extensive new landscaping plan. New outdoor conversation areas with WiFi will provide a place for outdoor meetings for the surrounding business community. A new two-level building with nearly 49,000 square feet will be built at the center of the complex.
“We are working diligently to create an expanded, family-friendly experience at MarqE that highlights the diversity and culture of Houston,” Levine said. “Adding new restaurants, retail shops and entertainment concepts to our center will further expand the options found in our world-class city.”
Founded in 1980, Levcor has developed, owned and managed over 25 million square feet across the United States.
