Baytown area residents have been waiting—and wondering—for years about what would finally fill the long-vacant space along I-10. Now, the wait is finally over. In a presentation to City Council yesterday [Thurs. July 10^th], Fidelis Realty Partners revealed exciting new details about the upcoming San Jacinto Marketplace, a major retail development that’s set to transform shopping and dining in the Baytown area.

Headlining the project is a brand-new Sam’s Club, and it’s not just any Sam’s Club—it will be the first of its kind in Texas. This next-generation store will span an impressive 170,000 square feet, making it the largest lease Fidelis has ever signed. Sam’s Club is projected to open by next summer.
