When visiting the open, common area at Kings Harbor Waterfront Village, one gets a grand visual of the glistening water, a playful fountain that delights children of all ages, outdoor tables complete with umbrellas and a unique kinetic sculpture that is mesmerizing to watch. All in all, it is an atmosphere of relaxing pleasure, sparkling water views and a wide variety of savory foods within a few steps to temp every appetite.

“Kings Harbor differentiates from other centers by offering a truly unique experience on the water with many of the restaurants offering entertainment for a leisurely night out,” said Connie Carey, marketing director for Midway Companies. The Wine Loft will be the next new business to open their storefront on the lake in the coming months. An evening of wine tasting, tempting food and relaxing by the water will be on the menu, complete with a loft to add just the right atmosphere.

Currently doing business in Kings Harbor are Raffa’s American Bistro, Zamitti’s Pizza – Pasta, Two Gems Ice Cream, Chimichurri’s South American Grill, and Cómo Se Dice, which became the new kid on the block May 25.

“There are many good places to eat in Kingwood, but Kings Harbor offers great food as well as a unique dining experience,” said Carey. “The pedestrian-friendly environment encourages people to leisurely walk around and enjoy the outdoors. The restaurants have patio dining, which offer spectacular views of the lake and the entertainment they provide creates a wonderful atmosphere-and all just minutes away from your home.”

Residential construction continues on the Regent Square Brownstones, the Coventry Homes Luxury Townhomes, Harbor View Apartments, and following close behind, there will be a new Sunrise Senor Living Center.

Upon completion Regent Square Brownstones will have 35 units. Conventry Homes Luxury Townhomes will offer 42 units upon completion and Harbor View Apartments is boasting 250 units, which will be ready by late 2009. Sunrise Senior Living Center, a premier provider of senior living services, will house 80 units with their location by the lake.

Joseph Chris Partners, Chicago Title Insurance Company, Communications Distributors, Inc. and B.R.W. Architectural Firm of the Dallas area posted their Houston offices here. For the convience of everyone, the parking garage offers 300 free and covered parking spaces.

By the end of September, The Kingwood Chamber of Commerce will open new offices at the prestigious Kings Harbor location.

“We have space for one more building on the lake when the right tenant comes along,” Carey said.
