The project broke ground in August 2026 and construction is underway, with delivery currently anticipated in 2027; schedules and tenant plans may change.

Last verified September 1, 2026. This guide separates adopted city requirements, current state construction filings, and developer marketing so Katy residents can see what is confirmed and what remains subject to change.

The Green at Katy Park at a glance

What is The Green at Katy Park?

The City of Katy planned-development document describes The Green at Katy Park as a unified commercial district designed to give individual buildings their own identity while creating an inviting place for residents to gather and connect. The adopted district uses the city's C-2 commercial zoning as its base and allows a range of restaurant, retail, service, office, and other commercial uses.

The city document is the best source for the location, acreage, permitted framework, infrastructure sequence, and minimum development requirements. It also says the conceptual site layout can be modified within the adopted parameters. That distinction matters: a concept plan shows the current vision, not an unchangeable promise about every building, tenant, patio, or opening date.

Where is the development located?

The Green at Katy Park is planned for the northwest corner of Morton Road and Katy Hockley Cut-Off Road, within the City of Katy and Harris County. The site sits north of Morton Road and west of Katy Hockley Cut-Off.

Residents may also hear about The Market at Katy Park across Katy Hockley Cut-Off Road. That is a separately named development. The H-E-B associated with The Market at Katy Park should not be described as a tenant inside The Green at Katy Park.

What is planned for The Green at Katy Park?

The official project website markets approximately 175,000 square feet of restaurant and retail space across two phases. Its current concept includes approximately 20,000 square feet of landscaped community green space, patios and walkable gathering areas. Developer materials also describe access to approximately 3.5 miles of adjacent trail systems; that does not mean the development owns or contains all 3.5 miles.

The governing city document separately protects a minimum of 10,000 square feet of central hardscape and softscape in the core green area. The developer's marketed 20,000-square-foot vision and the city's 10,000-square-foot minimum are two different figures, so both should stay in context.

What is being built first?

A current Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation filing covers five commercial shell buildings on Parcel A. The filing identifies 63,700 square feet of new construction for future retail and restaurant uses, plus parking, site work, and shared green space. It lists an estimated completion date of July 2, 2027.

That filing is not the entire two-phase project. It is a useful current record of the principal first-stage building scope, and its dates and costs are estimates rather than guaranteed delivery commitments.

Which restaurants are planned?

State construction registrations tied to the property identify planned projects for Chipotle, 7 Brew, and Taco Bell. These filings support describing planned locations; they do not prove that construction milestones have been completed, that the businesses are open, or that their estimated schedules will hold.

The official development website has not published a complete named tenant roster. Other concepts may be under negotiation, but a negotiation is not a signed lease or opening announcement. Before making a special trip, confirm the business and address directly.

When will The Green at Katy Park open?

The project reached a visible milestone when the Katy Area Chamber listed a groundbreaking on August 19, 2026. Construction is now underway.

Published timing is not fully aligned. The project website still displays an older estimate pointing to late 2026, while the newer main-building state filing estimates completion in July 2027. The responsible takeaway is that delivery is currently anticipated in 2027, with individual tenant openings potentially following different schedules. Construction, permitting, leasing, inspections, and weather can all change those dates.

What should nearby residents watch?

The city plan says infrastructure—including detention and internal collector-road work—comes first. As construction advances, nearby residents should watch official updates about roadway access, drainage work, construction traffic, tenant announcements, and opening schedules rather than relying on an early rendering or social-media rumor.

The development may add dining, shopping, and gathering choices for north Katy, but no project can guarantee less traffic, no drainage impact, or a specific effect on nearby home values. Property value remains address-specific and depends on comparable sales, condition, inventory, access, taxes, insurance, and current buyer demand.
