Headwall Investments Strengthens Texas Presence with New Shopping Center Acquisition
Headwall Investments, a commercial real estate investment firm based in Texas, has further expanded its presence in the Lone Star State by acquiring the Colonnade at Lake Houston shopping center. This acquisition, which marks the firm's 21st purchase in the unanchored neighborhood shopping sector, not only underscores Headwall's commitment to convenience retail but also signifies the company’s growth in total assets under management, which has now surpassed $250 million.
The Colonnade at Lake Houston, located in a rapidly developing corridor of northeast Houston, features a diverse tenant mix that includes essential services, daily-need retailers, and popular restaurants. This strategic location appeals to nearby master-planned communities, ensuring a steady flow of customers. According to George Wommack, Headwall's Founder and CEO, the property's strong visibility and resilient tenant performance were key factors in the acquisition decision.
Wommack stated, "Our team continues to pursue opportunities that align with our long-term conviction in Texas’ population, job, and wage growth as well as the stability of convenience-driven retail. Colonnade at Lake Houston is a prime example of the type of center that fits our target portfolio—well-located, convenience-based, and supported by strong community demand."
This latest acquisition strengthens Headwall's reputation as one of the most active buyers of unanchored retail centers across Texas, which now includes major metropolitan markets such as Austin, Dallas-Fort Worth, Houston, and San Antonio. Sam Peacock, Headwall’s Executive Vice President, highlighted that each acquisition not only bolsters operational efficiencies but also enhances the quality and depth of the firm's portfolio analytics. He expressed excitement about continuing the company's growth trajectory into the next year with additional projects lined up for 2026.
The firm plans to implement targeted capital improvements at the Colonnade at Lake Houston to elevate its curb appeal and modernize its branding, which will ultimately enhance the long-term stability of the asset. Headwall's focus on revitalizing neighborhood retail spaces forms part of its broader business strategy aimed at providing durable returns to its investors while contributing positively to the community.
As a Texas-based thematic real estate firm, Headwall Investments emphasizes disciplined underwriting, local expertise, and operational excellence.
