Ellington Trade Center

The industrial asset was acquired by Lincoln Property Co., through its investment advisory affiliate Lincoln Advisory Group, on behalf of an institutional client.

Located at 12552, 12554 and 12556 Highway 3 in Houston’s Southeast Industrial submarket, Ellington Trade Center is adjacent to Ellington Airport. The property was 98.6 percent occupied at the time of the announcement and is home to tenants such as FedEx, Lennox Industrial, Goodman Distribution, SCP Distributors, E&G, Patrician Window Coverings and Houston Chronicle Publishing. Ellington Trade Center features 24’ and 28’ minimum clear heights, dock high configuration and 200’ shared truck courts.

Senior Managing Director Rusty Tamlyn and Director Trent Agnew led HFF’s investment sales team.

“Lincoln Advisory Group recognized the upside potential that the offering presents via the development tract as well as the rent roll of tenants that need to be at this location in order to service the expanding population base on the south and southeast sides of Houston,” said Agnew in prepared remarks.
