Medical office buildings, restaurants and retail are coming to a new development near Smart Financial Centre.

The big picture

The 8-acre mixed-use development, called Lexington Commons, was announced by Planned Community Developers in an April 29 news release following a rezoning request approved by Sugar Land City Council at two April meetings.

The development will be located in Telfair between Hwy. 59 and Lexington Boulevard, project officials said. The property is adjacent to the recently announced University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center coming to Sugar Land near Smart Financial Centre.



Digging in

Centered around a pedestrian plaza, Lexington Commons will bring professional and medical offices to the south side of the city alongside restaurants and retail, according to the release.

The site will be developed in two phases including:

• Phase 1: two office buildings and a parking garage
• Phase 2: an office building and a parking garage

A cost for the project was not available as of press time as the project is still in the conceptual and planning phase, PCD President Don Janssen said in an email.

Quote of note

“We’ve heard from residents about their desire for walkable professional and retail space near Telfair, and we’re excited to bring Lexington Commons to meet this need in a way that reflects our legacy and commitment to the community to deliver meaningful, engaging and transformative destinations,” Janssen said in the release.

Looking ahead

The first phase will begin construction this fall, with anticipated completion in the first quarter of 2027, Janssen said.

A timeline for Phase 2 will be dependent upon how fast the first phase is leased, he said.
