Steel is up, the buildings are taking shape, and The Shops at Theis and Cherry is officially past one of the biggest milestones in the construction process. Steel erection and the base metal panel installation are now complete, and our team is moving quickly into the next phases that bring a project from “structure” to “street presence.”

If you’ve been searching for retail space for lease in Tomball, TX, or you’re a business owner looking for a new medical, dental, wellness, or service-based retail location, this is the point in the timeline where leasing decisions start to get real—because the finish-out schedule starts to come into focus.

A Major Milestone: Steel & Metal Panels Complete

At Lone Star Development, we manage the entire process—development, design, and construction—which allows us to control quality, schedule, and execution from start to finish. With the steel and metal panels complete, we’re now transitioning into the infrastructure and exterior design elements that will define the customer experience at the center.

This project is being built as destination retail—a place people choose to visit, not just pass by. That means visibility, curb appeal, accessibility, and strong tenant mix all matter, and the design decisions we’re making now support that goal.

Stormwater Progress This Week (Pine Meadows Tie-In)

This week we’re installing a stormwater pipe to tie into the existing storm sewer system in Pine Meadows. This connection is a critical step for the development and helps ensure the site drains properly during heavy rains and storm events.

Target completion: by the end of this week.

Next Week: Onsite Stormwater System Crews

Once the tie-in is complete, next week we’ll have crews onsite building the stormwater system throughout the site. This includes the onsite collection and drainage components that move water efficiently through the development.

Stormwater isn’t glamorous, but it’s one of the most important parts of a well-built retail project. Doing it right protects the buildings, the paving, and the long-term performance of the site.

Coming Up: Grading, Final Prep, and Parking Lot Paving

After stormwater is complete, the sequence becomes very straightforward:

1. Bring the entire site to grade

2. Final base prep

3. Start paving the parking lot

Paving is another major visual milestone—because once the lot goes in, the center immediately feels like a real place you can imagine your business opening in.

Exterior Design Features: Mac Metals Designer Panels (Coming Soon)

In the next few weeks, we’ll have a team onsite installing designer metal panels from Mac Metals, including:

• Light wood trim accent panels

• Modern block-style panel systems

These details matter. They elevate the look of the buildings and create a premium feel that draws customers in and attracts the right tenant mix. We’re designing The Shops at Theis and Cherry to stand out in Tomball—not blend in.

Storefront Systems Installing in the Coming Weeks

Storefront systems are another big step toward move-in readiness. Storefront glass and framing will be installed in the coming weeks, which begins to define each suite and creates that clean, modern retail presentation from the street and sidewalks.

For tenants, storefront installation is when you can really start picturing signage, entry flow, and the finished look of your space.

Electrical Work Begins: Lighting Rough-In

Our electricians are also coming onsite to begin roughing in the light fixtures on the buildings. Lighting is a major part of how a retail center feels—especially in the evenings. It impacts safety, visibility, curb appeal, and overall customer experience.
