Delivery is scheduled for 2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The industrial supply company <a href=\"https:\/\/www.commercialsearch.com\/news\/grainger-eyes-1-2-msf-houston-distribution-center\/\">first announced plans for this project<\/a> in February. Upon completion, the distribution center is set to be one of Grainger\u2019s largest facilities and will employ about 400 members in the first year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The facility will boost the company&#8217;s available inventory of industrial supply products in the market, expanding it from 150,000 to as many as 300,000 distinct items. The warehouse will store a diverse range of supplies, including hand and power tools, HVAC systems, lighting, power transmission devices, fluid power components and motors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When complete, the Class A property will feature 36-foot clear heights, 52- by 50-foot column spacing and about 740 car parking spaces. The development is taking shape on 108 acres at the corner of Roberts Road and Hempstead Highway, just off Interstate 290. Downtown Houston is 35 miles away, while the George Bush Intercontinental Airport is some 39 miles southeast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-houston-s-growing-industrial-inventory\">Houston\u2019s growing industrial inventory<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Houston had 6.7 million square feet of industrial space underway at the end of August, according to the latest <a href=\"https:\/\/www.commercialsearch.com\/news\/commercialedge-socal-industrial-market-faces-temporary-slowdown\/\">CommercialEdge industrial report<\/a>. The market\u2019s vacancy rate that month was 7.7 percent, above the 6.7 percent U.S. average.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the currently underway projects in the market is a five-building, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.commercialsearch.com\/news\/trammell-crow-breaks-ground-on-1-4-msf-houston-industrial-park\/\">1.4 million-square-foot campus<\/a> developed by Trammell Crow. The Class A property is slated to come online next summer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Also in Houston, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.commercialsearch.com\/news\/jackson-shaw-breaks-ground-on-535-ksf-campus\/\">Jackson-Shaw recently broke ground on GreensPORT Logistics Park<\/a>, a two-building, 535,478-square-foot industrial development. The facilities will have front-load and cross-dock configurations and are expected to be delivered in the third quarter of next year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>An industrial supply firm will fully occupy the facility taking shape near Houston.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3355,"featured_media":1004731652,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[21782,1589,21748,21742,51973],"tags":[32797],"class_list":["post-1004731651","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-development","category-houston","category-industrial","category-latest","category-southwest","tag-hines"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v23.4 (Yoast SEO v24.6) -
