Demolition will begin Tuesday at the former Greenspoint Mall as developers prepare to transform part of the longtime North Houston property into a $150 million industrial park.
The demolition ceremony is scheduled for 9 a.m. and is expected to include Houston Mayor John Whitmire and other city leaders.
The redevelopment, known as CityNorth Industrial Park, will cover approximately 80 acres at 12300 North Freeway, near Interstate 45 and Beltway 8.
Developers Lincoln and New York Life Investment Management announced plans for the project in September. The development is expected to include 1.2 million square feet of industrial space designed for logistics, distribution and manufacturing businesses.
The project is expected to create about 300 construction jobs and, once fully developed, support 1,200 full-time jobs.
Greenspoint Mall opened in 1976 and served the North Houston community for nearly five decades before closing in 2024.
The City of Houston and the North Houston Development Corp. are contributing $15 million toward demolition and public right-of-way improvements.
Fitness Connection, which has operated at the mall since 2005, is expected to relocate to a new 45,000-square-foot facility elsewhere on the property. The former anchor store sites, which have separate owners, are not included in the industrial park plans.
The first phase of CityNorth Industrial Park is expected to be completed in the first quarter of 2028.
City leaders say the redevelopment will bring new businesses, jobs and economic investment to the Greenspoint area.
