History


The center was developed in phases in the early 1990s.[1] The buildings of the Village Arcade complex were owned by Weingarten Realty while a subsidiary of Rice University owned the land itself.[2] Weingarten had a ground lease with options to renew the center until 2040.[1]


David Kaplan of Cite. wrote in 1996 that the development "has become a lightning rod of controversy, representing either the glories or the perils of progress."[3] Kaplan stated that the Rice Village development paralleled the teardowns of smaller older houses and replacements with larger houses in surrounding neighborhoods.[2]


In 2014 Rice University announced that it was acquiring the Village Arcade shopping center from Weingarten Realty. Rice University opted to buy Weingarten out of its lease, paying $55–60 million. This means the university also owns the property in addition to the land.[4]



Composition




Village Arcade


The Village Arcade is a pink brick shopping center.[5] The Village Arcade occupies an area bounded by Kirby Drive, Amherst, Morningside, and University. The development also occupies most of the block bounded by Kelvin, Amherst, Times, and Morningside.[2] Kaplan wrote that compared to other developments in Rice Village, it is a "monolith".[2]



Tenants


As of 2013 it includes tenants such as Banana Republic, The Gap, La Madeleine, and Starbucks.[1]


As of 2001 The Gatsby Social Club, previously the Cody's in the Village, is located on the complex's top floor.[6]


As of 1996 it includes national chains such as Eddie Bauer, Express, Gap, Starbucks, Structure, and Victoria's Secret.[5]
