Construction has officially started on the first commercial building inside Riceland Town Center, marking a major milestone for Mont Belvieu’s growing Riceland master-planned community.

The new building, called Millhouse, is a nearly 17,000-square-foot retail and office development by Houston-based McGrath Real Estate Partners. It will include ground-floor retail space with offices located on the second floor, making it the first commercial structure to rise in the town center area.

Riceland Town Center is designed to become a walkable gathering place with shops, restaurants, offices, public green space, and room for community events—something the city has not had since the 1980s.

The larger Riceland development will eventually include thousands of homes, miles of trails, stocked lakes, parks, and recreation areas, all connected to the town center. Several homebuilders are already active, and residential construction continues to move forward in multiple phases of the project.
