Juniper Square Market is a retail center planned in Willis at the corner of FM 1097 and Kennedy Street. Joe Moody, owner of Black Flag Properties—the firm developing the project—said the contractor began mobilizing for construction April 22, and Moody said he anticipates the building shell will be ready Dec. 1 for tenants.

While tenant leases are pending, Moody said the retail center will include a 2,000-square-foot restaurant with a drive-thru and other spaces. Community Impact Newspaper previously reported the center would feature six to eight tenants.

The project will be located near the H-E-B-anchored development by Fidelis that broke ground in September, Community Impact Newspaper previously reported.
