JUST FOR KICKS FC BUILDING NEW HOME ON WARE RD: The local youth soccer academy is kicking off a major expansion! ⚽🥅 Just For Kicks FC has filed permits to construct a dedicated new facility at 2014 Ware Road (specifically 2014 N. Ware Road).
The project involves the new construction of a 1,674-square-foot clubhouse on the 1.8-acre property. While the building itself is modest—housing offices, concessions, restrooms, and a parent viewing area the "Scope of Work" and land size indicate this will serve as the support structure for private soccer fields. Just For Kicks FC, known for its Brazilian-inspired training programs and "Mini Kicks" classes for toddlers, will now have a permanent home base for its club members.
Construction is scheduled to begin this spring on April 1, 2026, with a target completion date of July 31, 2026.

McAllen, Texas 🌭 UPDATE: PORTILLO’S IS COMING TO McALLEN!
If you haven’t been following our updates, you might have missed the massive news: Portillo’s is officially coming to McAllen! We now have the official state records and the latest construction updates directly from the developer to confirm exactly what is happening at the old Civic Center site near 10th Street and Expressway 83. According to the filings, the project is registered under the name "Portillos" and will be located at the US-83 Frontage Road and 12th Street. The estimated $5 million project will feature a 6,250-square-foot standalone restaurant complete with an outdoor patio and their signature "order canopy" for a dual-lane drive-thru classic Portillo’s style.
At this week’s McAllen City Commission meeting, developer Michael Fallek provided a key status update on the "McAllen City Center" project. He confirmed that most of the heavy lifting is already behind them, stating that "infrastructure has been completed" and "everything underground is in place." Crews are currently on-site pouring parking lots and working on the driveways to prepare for vertical construction. Fallek noted they are now getting ready to build the multi-tenant retail strip next door.
While the retail building and the Portillo’s pad site (Lot 4) will go vertical first, the planned Marriott hotel and parking garage will be part of a future phase. Fallek noted the hotel is facing a "timing issue," but there is a silver lining for future diners as the developers are paving the hotel’s designated land right now to provide immediate, extra parking for the retail shops and the expected crowds.
Get your Chicago dogs ready, McAllen! 🌭🍟

Harlingen, Texas
In a significant political shift, Harlingen City Commissioner René Pérez (District 5) has officially come out against the massive 1,800-acre data center proposed near Valley International Airport. This follows weeks of heated City Commission meetings where residents have repeatedly packed the room to voice their opposition. Pérez cited this direct feedback as a driving force behind his decision, stating he wanted to "listen to the community" and conduct his own research before taking a definitive stand.
Even bigger news is developing regarding the project's controversial water supply. Residents have been furious over the Harlingen Waterworks Board’s existing agreement to sell million gallons of treated wastewater per day to the facility a deal many critics argue is a waste of precious resources in a drought-prone region. In a major development, Commissioner Pérez admitted on social media that the City is now actively exploring ways to back out of that contract, stating, "That’s something being looked into. We are trying to do our due diligence and several different options are being looked into." This is the first public acknowledgement that the water deal might not be set in stone.
Because the project is located just outside city limits, it falls under Cameron County’s jurisdiction, limiting the City’s ability to deny building permits. However, the project still faces major hurdles. If the City cancels the water contract, or if the local school district and Cameron County Commissioners Court deny the necessary tax abatements, the billion-dollar facility would likely become too expensive to build.

Starbase, Texas
SPACEX PLANNING MASSIVE "STARSHIP PARK" & AMENITIES BUILDING AT STARBASE: It looks like Elon Musk's vision for the newly incorporated city of Starbase is taking a major leap forward! 🚀🌳 SpaceX has officially filed permits for a massive $13.8 million development titled "Starship Park" located along State Highway 4.
The project involves the ground-up construction of a 115,000-square-foot site that will feature a "monument park with an adjacent amenities building." The filings specifically list the facility name as "Building 42" a likely nod to The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, where 42 is the "Answer to the Ultimate Question of Life, the Universe, and Everything." This strongly suggests the building will be a highly stylized, futuristic centerpiece rather than a standard municipal building.
This development perfectly aligns with SpaceX's recent push to expand Starbase from just an industrial launch site into a "world-class place to live" for its employees, which was a core argument when the area officially voted to incorporate as a city in May 2025. While the exact nature of the "monument" is unconfirmed, this park and massive Building 42 will likely serve as a central gathering hub, recreation center, or even a public-facing viewing area showcasing historic spacecraft.
Construction is scheduled to begin very soon on February 16, 2026, with a rapid target completion date of August 31, 2026.

The "McAllen Anti-Corruption Act" (Article 19) is dead.
A Hidalgo County judge ruled that the voter-approved cap on campaign contributions ($500) violated the First Amendment. The court cited federal precedents stating that donation limits cannot be set "too low" because it hinders political speech.
Last night, the McAllen City Commission voted unanimously to pass a "Minute Order" officially repealing it.
City Attorney Isaac Tawil explained that this was a "ministerial duty" meaning the Commission had no choice but to follow the Judge's order.

🌊 BIG PLANS REVEALED: Beach Park Seeking Approval for 3 Major Attractions!
South Padre Island’s "Beach Park at Isla Blanca" is planning a massive expansion to celebrate their 25th Anniversary in 2026! We’ve obtained documents showing plans for electric go-karts, a floating obstacle course, and a giant racing slide.
Since the waterpark is located inside Isla Blanca Park, the approval process is a little different than normal. Here is the path they have to take before breaking ground:
Because Isla Blanca Park is owned by Cameron County, the waterpark must first get permission from the County Commissioners Court to add these new structures to the land. They are currently seeking this approval.
Once the County says "Yes," the project then moves to the City of South Padre Island. The park will submit official architectural drawings to the SPI Building Department to get the actual safety and construction permits.
What’s Proposed:
🏎️ Electric Go-Kart Track: A first for the park!
🧘 Floating Obstacle Course
🛝 4-Lane "Hippo" Slide: A massive new racing slide.
The project is currently in Step 1 pending approval from the County Commissioners. If they get the green light, they aim to have everything ready for the 2026 Summer Season!

Harlingen, Texas
The Harlingen City Commission voted unanimously to implement a 180 day moratorium on the opening and expansion of smoke shops to allow the city to review its current zoning and safety ordinances. While a specific permit for a new smoke shop was also on the agenda for the January 21 meeting, the commission ultimately decided to table that request for six months to ensure it complies with the new standards being developed during the moratorium period.
The moratorium was introduced to address the rapid increase of smoke shops within city limits. City officials noted the need to study how these businesses impact public safety and to establish clearer guidelines regarding their proximity to schools and residential neighborhoods. The 180 day pause gives the Planning and Development department, along with the Police Department, time to draft updated regulations.
