750,000 SF Mixed Use: Fidelis secures 112 Acres at Camp Strake

In Houston, Fidelis Realty Partners has purchased a 112-acre tract of prime retail property at the former Camp Strake site where it plans to develop a regional shopping, dining and entertainment destination spanning 750,000 sq ft.

Camp Strake was used as an outdoor recreation site by the Boy Scouts for many years until Johnson Development bought the camp in 2013.

In The Fidelis tract at the southwest corner of Loop 336 and I, 45 in the City of Conroe, and just north of The Woodlands, was purchased from Johnson in what is the first major sale of the 2,046-acre multi-use, large-scale planned development.

“The opportunity to create a regional shopping experience at such a prominent location was very appealing,” said Lynn Davis, principal and chief marketing officer of Houston-based Fidelis Realty Partners. “We’re looking forward to working with Johnson Development on this project.”

Scheduled to open by early 2017, the regional retail destination marks the largest endeavor to date for Fidelis Realty Partners.

The company’s current portfolio of roughly 50 assets consists of 7 million sq ft, including properties in Texas, Louisiana and New Mexico. Fidelis currently has more than one million sq ft under purchase, development or pre-development.

“This project will provide a tremendous economic boost for the area,” said Conroe Mayor Webb Melder.

Plans also call for an open-air, multi-use town center adjacent to the regional shopping area under development by Fidelis, as stated by Doug Goff, Chief Operating Officer for The Johnson Development Corp.

Fidelis controls 50 assets consisting of 7 million sq ft, including properties in Texas, Louisiana and New Mexico. Fidelis currently has more than one million sq ft under purchase, development or pre-development.
