Why You Should Attend This 2026 Houston Retail & Mixed-Use Event

What We'll Cover:

  • How leasing strategies, rent growth and capital flows are playing out across Houston’s retail spectrum, from infill centers to large-format suburban destinations, and what that means for returns and risk.​
  • How mixed-use is evolving in both urban and suburban contexts, including capital stacks, lease-up velocity and the performance benchmarks that matter most to owners, lenders and equity partners.​
  • How owners and operators are reimagining existing assets and lifestyle hubs, and what current repositioning activity signals about long-term value creation, hold periods and exit strategy.​
  • The rise of experience-driven anchors and culturally specific concepts—from food, fitness and entertainment to new community-oriented offerings—and how they influence merchandising strategy, traffic patterns and underwriting.​
  • How developers and investors are responding to a constrained construction pipeline and strong household growth, including strategies for large-format tenant site selection, rents, and adaptive reuse of older retail and industrial sites.

 

How You'll Do More Business: Join Bisnow for an in-depth look at the forces reshaping retail and mixed-use across Greater Houston—from evolving leasing strategies and capital flows to performance metrics that actually drive decision-making. This event connects the dots between demand, merchandising, and asset management, unpacking how experience-driven retail, mixed-use evolution, and a constrained construction pipeline are influencing rents, site selection, and long-term value. Bisnow brings together the region’s top owners, developers, investors, and retail operators to uncover where tenant demand is heading, how projects are getting financed and leased in today’s environment, and what it takes to create resilient, high-performing retail destinations across the metro
