The Common will sit on the edge of the GOOF and Acres Homes. By Kelsy Armstrong 3/5/2021 at 6:00am The Common is heading to 1102 Pinemont Dr. A 1980s-ERA STRIP CENTER AT 1102 PINEMONT DR NEAR ELLA Boulevard, is slated to become the areaâs newest mixed-use development, a modern and sustainable project called The Common. The developers behind it, Gulf Coast Commercial Group, a Houston-based retail development, management, and leasing firm, are also behind Block 14 at 3201 N Shepherd Dr (on the other end of Garden Oaks). Theyâre hoping the new project will bridge the communities of Garden Oaks/Oak Forest and Acres Homes. It also joins a handful of new developments sprouting up all over the GOOF.
