Lake Pointe Redevelopment District

Lake Pointe Redevelopment District

In July 2024, Fluor vacated their 1+ million square foot office building located at Lake Pointe. As office demand has shifted toward newer and more modern spaces since the pandemic, the office campus is not likely to be replaced or redeveloped for another office tenant.

In anticipation of this, the City drafted a new zoning category called the Lake Pointe Redevelopment District to allow for a wider variety of compatible land uses in a compact, walkable form.

The 70-acre mixed-use zoning district sits within the Lake Pointe Regional Activity Center (RAC) and primarily consists of the vacant 52-acre Fluor office campus and immediately adjacent vacant parcels. This mixed-use zoning district is the regulatory mechanism to implement the vision for Lake Pointe. This district was adopted by City Council and land was rezoned in December 2023.

Lake Pointe Redevelopment District

Current Status

Houston-based developer Lovett Group’s concept plan for the 52-acre Lake Pointe site was approved by City Council on May 13, 2025. The concept outlines a vision for a walkable, residential district with a mix of compact housing, such as townhomes and cottages, and multifamily units. The plan incorporates feedback gathered during public meetings on April 23 and May 6, 2025.

After closing on the Lake Pointe property in June 2025, Lovett Group contracted services with Grant Mackay Company, Inc. for demolition of 1 million square feet of buildings within the former Fluor Corporation campus.

Demolition is expected to be completed in phases through Summer 2026. No traffic impacts or excessive noise is expected to take place during demolition.

Demolition Scheduled: September 2025 to May 2026

Phase 1 construction expected to begin: Summer 2026

City of Sugar Land Land Use Plan

The vision for the Lake Pointe Regional Activity Center (RAC) is to combine offices, housing, retail, entertainment, and civic spaces to create a distinctive sense of place where people can gather outside of work, school, and their homes. Redevelopment should create a walkable environment that harmoniously blends dense residential development with compatible nonresidential uses.
