The Monitor has found its new home. We have confirmed that the newspaper's new office will be located at the Trenton Crossing Shopping Center (7600 N 10th St) in McAllen.
The move comes after the paper sold its large Nolana headquarters to UTRGV earlier this year. The new location, which is undergoing a finish out, solidifies the paper's shift to a digital first, streamlined operation.

Another Ulta is coming to Brownsville! 💄 The beauty retailer is planning its second city location at the Strawberry Square shopping center on Boca Chica Blvd. This one had us really debating on whether it was accurate🤔.

Work on the exterior is scheduled to begin on January 1, 2026, with an expected completion date of June 1, 2026.
