Kubota Tractor Corp.\u2019s relocation from California to the Lone Star State moves forward as the company prepares to break ground on its\u00a0 new 193,000-square-foot headquarters in Grapevine, Texas.<\/p>\n

\"Bob<\/a>

Bob Farley, City of Grapevine<\/p><\/div>\n

It\u2019s a long way from California to Texas, but it will be a good trip for Kubota.\u00a0 \u201cKubota has an awful lot of growth plans and a lot of it involves states at the center of the U.S., so the location made a lot of business sense,\u201d Bob Farley, director of economic development with the City of Grapevine, told Commercial Property Executive<\/em>.<\/p>\n

The company\u2019s finance business, Kubota Credit Corp., will also make the move to Grapevine.<\/strong> Kubota looked at other centrally located states that would put it closer to its top markets and manufacturing and distribution facilities in Georgia and Kansas, but it was the Grapevine location that stood out–for a few reasons.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s a good strategic fit based on the proximity to Dallas\/Fort Worth Airport, the location at the center of their market and the fact that the City of Grapevine does own the property they\u2019re located on, so we have the ability to work with them to customize the land; they can negotiate directly with us,\u201d Farley noted. \u201cAlso, Grapevine started out as an agrarian community, and some of that appealed to Kubota.\u201d<\/p>\n

Grapevine is roughly 25 miles northwest of Dallas, so existing Class A office space is certainly available in the area, but Kubota had other ideas.<\/p>\n

\u201cConstructing our own facility from the ground up allows us to build to our exact specifications, enabling us to fully accommodate our needs now and into the future,\u201d David Sutton, president, Kubota Credit, told CPE<\/em>. \u201cWe intend to establish roots for long-term growth, and this new state-of-art facility will allow us to incorporate structural installations and technological innovations to run our business more efficiently.\u201d<\/p>\n

Designed by Corgan Architects, Kubota\u2019s new home will consist of a three-story, 125,000-square-foot office building and a 68,000-square-foot research and development facility. The headquarters will sit on 27 acres of the city\u2019s 184-acre property. \u201cI know everybody says it about their site,\u201d Farley acknowledged, \u201cbut this is a really nice site.\u201d He notes that the creek running through the property, for example, will help create a corporate campus that is appealing inside and out.<\/p>\n

Kubota\u2019s new environmentally-friendly,\u00a0cutting-edge digs will accommodate 400 employees, but that\u2019s just for starters, as the location provides Kubota the opportunity to expand and create more elbowroom. Kubota, City officials and others involved with the headquarters development will gather for a private groundbreaking ceremony Oct. 20. Construction is on target to reach completion in the first quarter of 2017, <\/strong>with commercial real estate services firm CBRE Inc. aboard as project manager.<\/p>\n

And eventually, Kubota will have neighbors at the sprawling development site, which the city acquired in 2013.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have some early-stage master plans. Additional corporate use might make some sense but there will probably be a mix of uses,\u201d Farley said.<\/p>\n

Already, there\u2019s another multinational company that is eyeing the 50-acre parcel just north of the creek.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
