San Jacinto Marketplace Lands EōS Fitness
as Redevelopment Gains Momentum
EōS Fitness, a rapidly growing national gym brand, has signed a lease for 40,000 square feet of space at San Jacinto Marketplace in Baytown, marking another major step in the transformation of the former San Jacinto Mall site.
The new gym will be part of the large-scale mixed-use redevelopment by Fidelis Realty Partners, which continues to attract big-name tenants to the growing retail destination along Garth Road. The Baytown location will add to EōS Fitness’s expanding presence in Texas and is expected to open in 2027.
This announcement comes as the San Jacinto Marketplace continues to evolve into a regional hub for shopping, fitness, dining, and entertainment, breathing new life into a key area of the city.
The Baytown location is already listed on the company’s website

Loose Trailer Wheel Smashes Fire Marshal’s Truck en Route to Jail Fire
A routine emergency response turned dangerous for Liberty County Fire Marshal Nathan Green on Monday night, April 7, when his vehicle was struck by a rogue wheel assembly from a passing 18-wheeler.
The incident occurred around 10:30 p.m. on the Grand Parkway (I-99), just west of FM 686. Green was en route to a fire at the Liberty County Jail when the trailer wheel assembly broke loose from an 18-wheeler traveling westbound. The dislodged wheel slammed into the front passenger side of Green’s pickup truck, disabling the nearly new vehicle and causing extensive damage.
Green sustained minor injuries in the crash, including abrasions to his left hand caused by the airbag deployment. Despite the impact, he managed to exit the vehicle by pushing through the deployed side curtain airbags.
The truck involved in the incident belongs to Evoqua Water Technologies of Conroe. It was later stopped by a Montgomery County Deputy near FM 1485 after smoke was seen coming from the vehicle. The source of the smoke was identified as a tire rubbing against the trailer frame, likely a result of the missing wheel.
The damaged pickup had only 8,000 miles on it and had recently been equipped with emergency response lights. Though shaken, Green is expected to make a full recovery and return to duty soon. The Texas Department of Public Safety is investigating the incident.
