The Wait Is Over: Huggins Drive Breaks Ground—Unlocking Full Potential at 7971 Main Street
April 23, 2025 – by Johnny Q
For years, the intersection of Main Street and Huggins Drive has been a centerpiece of conversation and speculation among Fulshear locals, developers, and investors. Today, that long-anticipated transformation took a giant step forward.
On April 21, Fort Bend County and City of Fulshear officials officially broke ground on the $6.5 million Huggins Drive widening and extension project. With construction expected to wrap in early 2026, this long-awaited project is finally underway—and for 7971 Main Street, the timing couldn’t be more perfect.
🚧 What’s Coming to Huggins Drive?
This extensive infrastructure project will:
- Widen Huggins Drive by adding a center turn lane
- Extend the road to FM 359
- Realign the Houston Street and Dixon Road intersection
- Add sidewalks to connect FM 359 and Fulshear Katy Road
For years, traffic bottlenecks near Huggins Elementary have plagued nearby neighborhoods. Now, this project promises improved traffic flow, safer access, and elevated connectivity in the heart of Fulshear—bringing a new wave of opportunity along with it.
Fulshear Mayor Don McCoy captured the moment best:
“This long awaited project not only represents progress, but it also reflects the power of partnership and planning.”
💡 What It Means for 7971 Main Street
From day one, 7971 Main Street has stood at the literal and figurative crossroads of Fulshear’s future. This 3-acre property—already marketed as a prime hard-corner redevelopment opportunity—has now become even more significant thanks to the very project we’ve all been waiting on.
When we first shared this site’s story, we called it “a 3-acre canvas awaiting your inspiration.” That canvas just got a major frame upgrade.
With Huggins Drive being widened, realigned, and connected to FM 359, this site’s visibility, access, and foot traffic are about to multiply. A property that was already poised to benefit from Fulshear’s high-end retail and dining boom is now officially anchored to a marquee mobility project—one funded through a major county bond and backed by both city and county leadership.
📍 Why Timing Is Everything
The groundbreaking at Huggins Drive is not just a transportation update—it’s a signal to forward-thinking investors: the time is now.
Here’s why 7971 Main Street is uniquely positioned to ride this wave:
- Hard-corner Location at the future intersection of Main Street and the newly expanded Huggins Drive
- Adjacent to Primrose Park, which just began its $6.8M transformation
- Surrounded by high-growth developments like Fulshear Junction, Fulshear Lakes, and the 3,000-acre Hines master-planned community
- In the heart of Fulshear’s luxury retail and dining corridor, where new demand meets unmatched access
Add to that: a newly issued notice to proceed on Huggins Drive (April 14), and an expected completion date in Q1 2026. That’s a 12-month countdown to dramatically increased traffic, visibility, and value.
🏗️ Visionaries Wanted
Whether you’re envisioning a luxury dining destination, a boutique retail hub, or a vibrant mixed-use corner development, the infrastructure is now falling into place—literally. With 11,000 square feet of existing space and zoning potential that rewards creativity, 7971 Main is ready for its next chapter.
🔑 This Isn’t Just News—It’s Leverage
Smart development isn’t just about finding a great property. It’s about acting when the pieces align. And today, they did.
7971 Main Street is no longer just “located at the future corner” of Huggins and Main. That corner is now under construction. The value proposition has moved from “potential” to “pending.”
Offered at $2.8 million, this site is one of the few remaining investment-grade parcels in a town exploding with vision and growth.
