The development, a part of the First Colony development, has office space, condominiums, retail stores, restaurants, and a hotel.

Sugar Land Town Square was first envisioned in 1996 as a new central business district for the City of Sugar Land. Planned Community Developers Ltd. In 2000 Sugarland Properties began to search for the first tenant of the complex; the developers had $31 million in financing on hand. The developers intended to create an urban atmosphere in the project. The first phase consisted of a six story, 150,000 square feet (14,000 m²) office building and 60,000 square feet (5,600 m²)-80,000 square feet (7,400 m²) of retail space. The development, patterned after Reston Town Center in Reston, Virginia, opened on one of the final parcels of land remaining to be developed in the First Colony project, also created by Sugarland Properties. The soft opening of the Marriott hotel was celebrated on October 1, 2003.

As part of its 2005 Landmark Awards, the Houston Business Journal (HBJ) ranked Sugar Land Town Square as having the "Best Community Impact." Christine Hall of the HBJ said that the complex "gives the Fort Bend suburb an "urban" feel."
