Southway Shopping Center
8006-8230 S. Gessner Road
Houston, Texas
This 180,000 square foot community center is located in a mixed Asian/Hispanic/African-
American area on the southwest side of Houston. RPD invested nine months into negotiating
the purchase with a local real estate investor that had owned the center for many years.
When RPD acquired the center, it was tenanted by Ross, Dollar Tree and 15 smaller, local
retailers. After terminating and relocating most of the smaller tenants, RPD redeveloped the
center, leasing 30,000 square feet to Best Buy and 30,000 square feet to Marshall’s. RPD
intends to hold the center for several years.
