Henry S. Miller Brokerage Arranges Two New Leases At Williams Trace Shopping Center; 99 Ranch Market And China King, Over 30,000 sf

HOUSTON, TX - October 13, 2009 --  Henry S. Miller Brokerage’s Shawn Ackerman, Executive Vice President of the Houston retail division, recently negotiated over 30,000 square feet, two new leases at Williams Trace Shopping Center in Sugar Land, Texas.

The 30,000 square foot space in Phase II, located at 3430 Highway 6 South, between Luby’s and Dollar Tree, was leased to one of the Houston area’s newest retailers, 99 Ranch Market. Just last week, 99 Ranch Market announced their first Houston location opening in approximately 30 days at the Blalock Market Shopping Center. Their recent lease at Williams Trace Shopping Center, marks their second location in the Greater Houston area. 99 Ranch Market plans to open at Williams Trace in 2010. “99 Ranch Market was looking for space in the Sugar Land market,” said Ackerman. “They chose Williams Trace Shopping Center for its prime location and space requirements.” Tawa Supermarket, Inc., dba 99 Ranch Market, was established in 1984 in Los Angeles, California. Today Tawa has 24 full-service stores in California, and four in Washington, one in Nevada and soon – two in Texas.  The second lease containing a 3,194 square foot space was leased to China King restaurant. The Chinese cuisine restaurant will be located at 3334 Highway 6 South, immediately next to PETCO in Williams Trace Shopping Center Phase I. China King restaurant has a couple other locations in the Greater Houston area.  Williams Trace Shopping Center is located at the SEC of Highway 6 South and Williams Trace Boulevard. The shopping center offers an array of national retailers, two phases, and a recently renovated Randall’s Grocer anchor. It is a notable retail location in the Sugar Land community of Houston, Texas; it is currently over 90% occupied.

Representing the landlord, HSMEP Williams Trace LP, in both transactions was Shawn Ackerman of Henry S. Miller Brokerage, LLC. Tawa Supermarket, Inc./99 Ranch Market, was represented by Heather Nguyen of New Quest Properties.
