In 1980, City of Sugar land had less than 10,000 population, and in 2010, it is estimated that over 90,000 people will be living here. We have had controlled but rapid growth over the last 28 years, but as a result, most everything here looks clean and new. Even the older landmarks have received facelifts up to match the new buildings.
Sugar Land Town Square is the heart of the entertainment district in
The City of Sugar Land. It has a variety of restaurants, sidewalk cafes, shops, a Marriott Hotel and conference center, mid-rise offices and homes, townhouses, a public plaza, and The Sugar Land City Hall. Festivals, outdoor movies and important events take place in the plaza. We've even had 2 live concerts by the popular group Sugar Land on the steps of City Hall. And yes, they named their group after our city. Why? They said they thought the name sounded good! We agree!
The new city hall and public plaza, a cornerstone of Sugar Land Town Square, received the "Best Community Impact" award from the Houston Business Journal at the fifth annual Landmark Awards ceremony.
Sugar Land is home to the practice sites of the Houston Aeros and Houston Comets. Located near the Sugar Land Town Square is the Sugar Land Ice and Sports Center, which is home of the Houston Aeros practice facility, and public ice skating facility.
