SUGAR LAND, Texas – (Realty News Report) – A 63,000-SF mixed-use project, called Riverstone Town Center, is under development in Fort Bend County by The Marcel Group, a Woodlands-based firm led by Vernon Veldekens.
The project, located near the corner of University Blvd. and LJ Parkway, will have 41,875 SF of retail and restaurant space and 27,000-SF of office, according to a CBRE leasing brochure.
Jeff Stein of CBRE’s Debt and Structured Finance team arranged $17.6 million in construction and equity financing for the project.
