A new retail center is coming to northwest Katy, near the Elyson and Morton Creek Ranch housing developments.

Porter Lake Crossing is set to open in early December, according to officials. The space is located at 24004 Porter Road, Katy, near the intersection of Porter Lake Road and Stockdick School Road. Once completed, the 40,130-square-foot retail center will have three multitenant buildings and 6,000 square feet in lot space.

The Learning Experience, a child care and education center, has leased Building B of the center and will feature a 5,245-square-foot playground.

Sarah Thobae, a leasing representative for the center, said Porter Lake Crossing is looking to lease the remaining spaces to service-oriented tenants like salons, pet care and dry cleaning as well as medical, educational and fitness businesses in a July press release.

Thobae also plans for quick-service dining, coffee and frozen treat tenants at the end cap spaces of the center. www.cornerstonedevgrp.com
