Greenspoint Mall may be gone, but new affordable housing, retails and restaurants are on the way
SUMMARY: Greens Point Mall, once a retail hub in Houston, has fallen into significant decline, leaving only a few tenants and a dysfunctional food court. Locals express disappointment, highlighting a rise in crime and the mall’s dilapidated state. However, a new affordable housing development nearby features 325 apartments and aims to revitalize the area, with retail options opening soon. Crime rates have decreased in the vicinity, showing signs of improvement. Despite these developments, the future of the struggling mall remains uncertain as the facility manager seeks potential buyers for the vast space. The local community hopes for a meaningful transformation.
Greenspoint Mall opened in August of 1976 to great fanfare.
By the late 80s, the mall had expanded, and with the big footprint and all of the big names in retail, found a home at Greenspoint Mall on Houston’s northside.
