By Georgiana Mihaila, Associate Editor

On top of renewing its existing 84,420-square-foot lease at Westland I, valve manufacturer Bray International Inc. has chosen to expand its presence at Duke Realty’s Westland Business Park through a new 80,200-square-foot lease in Westland II.

Located in northwest Houston, one of the area’s most active industrial sectors, Westland I and II are adjacent to one another in the park, just south of Highway 290 at the West Road/Eldridge Parkway exit. Westland I is a 262,800-square-foot industrial building that was constructed in 2008, while Westland II, a 300,000-square-foot facility, was delivered in May 2011 as a speculative building. Both have modern warehouse features, including 28-foot clear heights, wide interior and dock bays, and numerous overhead doors, including drive-in doors.

“Duke Realty worked with us so that we could expand our business and keep our operations close together,” said Brad Kirchhofer, COO of Bray International. “Westland Business Park I and II are both high-quality, modern industrial buildings with great highway access. Their location near our headquarters also adds to their appeal for our operations.”

The two leases bring the buildings to full occupancy, with Bray International now taking up  29 percent of the total space.

Headquartered in Houston, Bray International designs and manufactures various flow control products, including butterfly valves, ball valves, check valves, actuators, and HVAC and temperature control products, merchandised to a variety of industries in the United States and around the world.
