Cypress Creek Plaza, the shopping center located at 9690 Fry Road, Cypress, is nearing completion, and businesses are expected to start opening in the coming months. A partnership between Smithco Development and Cypress Creek Lakes developer Mischer Investments, the project broke ground toward the end of 2015.

Mark Kilkenny, executive vice president of development and governmental affairs for Mischer Investments, said he chose to partner with Smithco because of the company’s experience in retail center construction.

“The Mischer family and the Jim Smith family have known each other for a number of years,” he said. “We had the land, and they had the know-how, so we ventured the project together.”

The new development caters to tens of thousands of homes in nearby neighborhoods such as Cypress Creek Lakes, Bridgeland, Towne Lake, Canyon Lakes and Black Horse Ranch. An H-E-B opened at the site last year.

“The H-E-B in and of itself has brought a lot of additional services to the neighborhood there,” Kilkenny said. “The shopping center will bring more services to people so they don’t have to venture all the way up to [Hwy.] 290.”

Developers turned over the space to tenants Aug. 18, so consumers can expect staggered openings in the coming months, Smithco officials said.

Kilkenny said he is pleased with the tenants signed on to the shopping center, and said three pad sites facing Fry Road will bring even more options to the area. While Zaxby’s and Wendy’s have not yet broken ground, Chase Bank is under construction and set to open in the first quarter of 2017, he said.

In addition to these businesses, three buildings totaling 51,000 square feet contain restaurants, dental offices, nail salons, postal services, pet supply shops and more.

Eighty percent of the shopping center has been leased, and confirmed tenants include:

  • AVA Orthodontics

  • Ideal Dental

  • ­­MW Cleaners

  • Nails of America

  • Natural Pawz

  • North Cypress Urgent Care

  • Postal Plus

  • Radiate Eyecare

  • RE/MAX

  • Sapporo Japanese Sushi

  • Snowflake Donut

  • Sport Clips

  • Jin’s China Cafe

  • True Companion veterinary office

  • Under My Pillow Pediatric Dental

  • Urgent Care for Kids

  • Whiskey Charlie’s Liquor Store


The developers still have between 45 and 60 acres of land adjacent to Cypress Creek Plaza set aside for future expansion, Kilkenny said.
