DEER PARK, TX—The first phase of The Junction at Deer Park, a community retail center being developed by the Houston office of Cencor Realty Services and located at the northeast quadrant of Spencer Highway and East Boulevard, will open Nov. 11.

The center, designed to incorporate as much as 400,000 square feet of retail space upon completion, is anchored by an 83,000-square-foot H-E-B grocery.

"With H-E-B as an anchor, we are seeing strong interest from key retailers for the center's next phase," JoBeth Prochaska, vice president of development and asset management with Cencor, told GlobeSt.com. "The Junction at Deer Park is one more key component in the growth of the Spencer Highway/East Boulevard intersection into one of the market's key retail districts."

In addition the H-E-B, the center is designed with seven pad sites. In-line space, totaling 14,600 square feet, is currently in the planning stages to be located on Spencer Highway, adjacent to the H-E-B fuel station.

Cencor is under way with master-planning the remainder of the center, which will include several big-box tenants.

James Namken, Randy Hopper and Kyle Knight with The Weitzman Group handle leasing at The Junction at Deer Park.

The Junction at Deer Park is Cencor's second retail project at the intersection of Spencer Highway and East Boulevard. Cencor also developed Deer Park Station, a retail center shadow-anchored by Walmart.
