The Grid, a 192-acre mixed-use development in Stafford, could be built out by 2026, said Adam Schiller, co-founder of Edge Realty, the developer of The Grid. The development has about 24 acres left to fill out, and Edge Realty will be adding concepts that offer food and beverage for the remaining space, Schiller said. Construction on The Grid began in fall 2018, according to its Facebook page. The details The Grid plans to repurpose the former Texas Instruments campus, which was built in the mid-1970s and closed in 2012, Schiller said. Schiller said his company has “hundreds of plans” for the Texas Instruments office building but the development group has yet to decide how to repurpose the space. “Some [plans] are tearing it down, some are using pieces,” Schiller said. “The majority of that
building was where they did silicon chip manufac- turing. ... It wasn’t really kind of built out for, let’s say, moving some office people in.” A closer look Schiller said Fort Bend County is “incredibly dense,” leading to high traffic counts along roads passing by The Grid. An estimated 328,000 cars drive past The Grid daily on Hwy. 59, West Airport Boulevard, Kirkwood Road and Murphy Road, according to an East Fort Bend Development Authority presentation to Fort Bend County commissioners March 12. “If you’re going to the [Texas] Medical Center, Astros game, museum district, ... you’re basi- cally going to pass the site one way or another,” Schiller said. What’s next Schiller said 2026 is the target date for The Grid’s completion, and could be completed sooner if

there aren’t any delays. “We’ve been talking to everyone that you can imagine, that you know about and that you don’t know about,” Schiller said. “We really want the right use and users that will finish this off and make it a continuing, healthy, growing community.”
