Updated September 28, 2026

Cypress is EXPLODING with progress; we have new food, retail, homes, even an NFL training center (definitely not on my 2026 Bingo card, but here we are). Now, before you get excited, this is not a Coming Soon but is indeed an ‘In The Works’, so these may take a while before a grand opening. But according to Texas State Filings, this is what has been submitted.

Dunham Pointe Retail Village (Shake Shack, Whole Foods)

The 25-acre retail village at Dunham Pointe breaks ground Thursday, October 1, 2026. Trademark Property Co., in partnership with MetLife Investment Management, secured financing from PNC Bank for the 202,000-square-foot district at Hwy. 290 and Mason Road. It's anchored by Whole Foods Market — the first in Cypress — with 13 more tenants signed: Nordstrom Rack, Shake Shack, Playa Bowls, Pepper Lunch, Ojo de Agua, Pokeworks, Amorino Gelato, Milkshake Factory, Solidcore, LaserAway, Texas Country Boots, Fidelity, and a national junior fashion anchor that's still unnamed.

Trademark says it's in active negotiations with 12+ more tenants totaling 65,000 square feet, plus letters of intent from 10 others. First tenants are expected to open by late 2027. Flower Child and La La Land Kind Cafe (both below) are filing nearby on Mason Road, in the same Dunham Pointe corridor.

Flower Child @ Dunham Point

Flower Child is expanding its footprint in Harris County, preparing to open a new restaurant in Cypress. The fast-growing dining concept, known for its wellness-focused, made-from-scratch menu featuring customizable bowls, salads, and wraps, will be setting up shop at the Dunham Pointe development. Located at 14611 Mason Road, Suite 85A, this major project involves a $1,300,000 investment for the interior tenant build-out of a 4,575-square-foot space within an existing shell building. The new restaurant will feature a brand-new commercial kitchen, restrooms, lighting, furnishings, fixtures, and equipment.

Construction on the fresh dining destination is scheduled to kick off next spring on May 1, 2027, with a target completion date set for the fall on November 1, 2027.

Location: 14611 Mason Rd., STE 85A, Cypress, TX 77433

La La Land Cafe @ Dunham Pointe

Flower Child is getting a neighbor. La La Land Kind Cafe has filed with the state for a second Cypress location, a couple of doors down at 14615 Mason Road. The first one is at The Boardwalk at Towne Lake. There's no opening date yet.

Location: 14615 Mason Rd., Ste. B2-E, Cypress

Galiana's Casa Del Tequila

This one is officially open. Family-owned Grupo Herrera Restaurants ran reservation-only soft-opening dinners Sept. 21 through 27 and held its grand opening Sept. 28. Walk-ins are welcome now, though they're still encouraging reservations. We'll move it to our 2026 openings list at the next monthly update.

The menu covers seafood, steaks, ceviche, and tacos, with lunch and dinner daily and both American and Mexican brunch on weekends. The cocktails are built around tequila and mezcal, and there's a "locker collection" where you can buy a bottle and keep it there for your next visit, which is either very fancy or very convenient depending on how often you plan to go.

Location: 11231 Greenhouse Rd., Ste. 150, Cypress

Aleyotl Coffee & Bakery

A Mexican-inspired cafe on Hempstead Road has been in an extended soft opening since Sept. 11. The owners draw on their roots in Michoacán and Mexico City, and the name blends alebrije with the Nahuatl word for heart. The menu is coffee, matcha, and baked goods, with drinks like a Horchata Matcha, Duvalín Latte, Mazapán Latte, and Café de Olla. The official grand opening is planned for late October.

Location: 28404 Hempstead Rd., Unit G09, Cypress

Casa Prime Premium Meats

A Latino-owned meat market is opening on Fry Road this fall. The plans call for a 20-foot meat counter, a walk-in beer cooler, and a fine wine rack, which is a specific enough combination that I have already decided how that grocery run goes.

Location: 9430 Fry Rd., Cypress

Another Nine

Another Nine is building a private indoor golf simulator location at Cypress Village Station, near U.S. 290 and Skinner Road. The pitch is 24/7 member access, which is either very appealing or slightly alarming depending on who you live with.

It’s the second swing-adjacent business to land in that stretch this year, and it fits the pattern we keep noticing out here: the entertainment that’s opening in Cypress is the kind you book rather than the kind you drive to.

The suites are reservation-based: you book online and let yourself in with a code sent by text and email. Location: Cypress Village Station, 25282 Northwest Fwy., Ste. 170 (U.S. 290 at Skinner Rd.). Opening date is still TBD.

Culver’s

The Wisconsin burger-and-frozen-custard chain has filed for what would be the first Culver’s in Cypress proper, on Fry Road near Bridgeland. The state filing lists a 4,393-square-foot ground-up build with a drive-thru, an estimated cost of $1.85 million, construction starting September 21, 2026, and completion June 25, 2027.

So realistically this is a summer 2027 opening at the earliest, and filing dates slide all the time. ButterBurgers, cheese curds, custard. The closest ones right now are in Katy and Fulshear.

Location: 9265 Fry Rd., Cypress, TX 77433

Huffmeister Business Park

Plans at 12638 Huffmeister Road call for more than 250,000 square feet of industrial and flex space across multiple phases, with a $12 million state filing on the first one and warehouse space coming online in 2027.

Nobody’s driving out on a Saturday for a flex building. But these filings are a decent early read on which corridors get built out next, and Huffmeister is clearly next.

Location: 12638 Huffmeister Rd.

Stretch Zone

An assisted-stretching studio is coming to Coles Crossing, confirmed September 10, with an October opening. Recovery and wellness keeps being the category that expands fastest out here, right behind pilates and frozen custard.

Midnight Cravingz

Late-night specialty ice cream is coming to the Northwest Freeway, with an October opening confirmed to Community Impact. The chain's hours run to 1 a.m. Tuesday through Thursday, 2 a.m. Friday and Saturday, and midnight on Sunday, which would make it one of the only things open out here after everything else has closed.

Location: 26321 Northwest Fwy., Cypress

Savvy Smile Studio

This one is already open, as of July 31 on Jones Road. The general and cosmetic dental group handles preventative care, restorative work, implants, and periodontal therapy, per its website.

Location: 9101 Jones Rd., Ste. A1, Houston

Virtual Pathways Campus

If you remember, we wrote a special piece with the director of the Virtual Pathways Program. What I didn’t know is that they will have a separate campus for this program. According to the permit docs, this will be a renovation of an existing CFISD building to house the virtual pathways campus, which will be 16,212 sqft. Completion is set for late November 2026. So, likely looking at the beginning of the 2027 school year for use.

Champs Arena

So this was a bit of a fun surprise, but it’s looking like a good-sized commercial build is coming into Cypress. My guess is a sports arena (Baseball, maybe? or a multi-use training facility?) It’s registered as a 25,038 ft² single-story building on 17502 South Drive, Cypress, TX 77433 (Right off of Barker and 290). More to come on this, with completion showing as May 2027.

Showcase Luxury Garages

This build just registered and is bringing (can you guess?) Garages presumably😅. Going in at 17214 Huffmeister Rd. Cypress, TX 77429. There are five single-story shell buildings. 36,167 sq.ft. total and estimated to be completed in December 2026.

CyLife Church Growth

CyLife Church has been here and established for a while, but expansion is on the horizon. The church has registered for major updates, including a new edition and remodeling of its current location. This construction is estimated to cost over $17M and will escalate their total square footage to 45,187. Completion is TBD for Aug 2028.

Noir n Nectar

This looks like a new hair salon coming to Fry Springs Plaza this year. And before this year, I would’ve been like “another one?” But after we have had about 3 new pilates places and 2 new frozen custard places, I am a firm believer that there is enough to go around here in Cypress.

Take 5 Oil Change

This is opening a new location (22326 FM 529 RD, Cypress, TX 77433), next to Skyview Flats, and is expected to be completed by the end of Dec. 2026.

Ivy Kids Bridgeland

A new childcare option will be opening in April of 2027 at 21414 North Bridgeland Lake Parkway, Cypress, TX 77433, across from Pope Elementary.

Verizon @ Village Green

Howard Hughes Communities confirmed a Verizon retail store is coming to Village Green at Bridgeland Central. No opening date announced yet.

New Early Learning Center in Bridgeland

Another childcare option has broken ground in Bridgeland — same pattern we keep tracking out here, where schools, childcare, healthcare, and everyday services follow the rooftops.

Water Wings Swim School

This one's already open. The locally owned swim school on FM 529 offers year-round infant, child, and adult lessons, and kicked things off with a Splash Bash on Sept. 5.
