Hughes Landing Restaurant

Hughes Landing Restaurant is undergoing an interior renovation at 1900 Hughes Landing Boulevard, Ste 350, in The Woodlands Town Center. The project involves alterations to the existing restaurant space, which spans 7,500 square feet. This work is registered as a Renovation/Alteration with the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation, identifying the owner of record as Howard Hughes. The estimated cost for this scope of work is $2,400,000, equating to $320 per square foot.

The TDLR record indicates that plan review was completed in July 2025. Construction was scheduled to begin in September 2025, with a completion date listed for June 2026. Although this scheduled date has passed, the TDLR has not yet recorded a final inspection, so the current state of the site is not confirmed in the public record. The project is privately funded on private land for private use.
