== History ==
Almeda Mall was constructed in 1968, but the Foley's (now Macy's) had arrived two years earlier in the spring of 1966. Almeda was the premiere mall for the area southeast of Houston until 1978 when Baybrook Mall opened a few exits south, much closer to the affluent Clear Lake/NASA area. Baybrook quickly replaced Almeda as the area's highly successful mall. Around 2017, the mall underwent a million dollar renovation project, replacing the old brown brick flooring and walls.
In 2006, the mall was about 95% occupied. During that year Glimcher Realty Trust put the mall up for sale, along with the Northwest Mall, which was purchased by WCF Mall Management, but then permanently closed in March 2017. JCPenney closed in 2006 and relocated to Pasadena, TX. Burlington Coat Factory took its spot. In 2006, Foley's rebranded to Macy's after its acquisition.
Almeda Mall was originally anchored by Foley's and JCPenney, it is now anchored by Macy's, Burlington Coat Factory, Palais Royal, and a dd's DISCOUNTS.
