US Highway 290 Retail Centers

The corridor along US Highway 290 is thriving with national retailers, restaurants, and amenities. The success of retail in the region has spurred development of 200,000 square feet of new retail at US 290 and Chappell Hill St., known as Brenham Crossing. Brenham Crossing is now open with available leasing. An additional mixed-use development of 51 acres, known as Market Square, is also in development and will consist of retail, multi-family housing, and commercial office space.
