Port Houston Spawns Major Warehouse Deals

HOUSTON – (Realty News Report) – A flurry of warehouse transactions and new projects have been emerging in southeast Houston near the Port of Houston and shipping terminals on the waterfront.

Avera Companies just announced plans to build for its 12th industrial development in the Port area, Baywood Logistics, a 401,154 SF distribution project along Reed Bluff Road on the west side of the Houston Ship Channel.

“Baywood Logistics is a true rarity in the current land environment, offering users remarkable access to the container terminals at a time where suitable industrial land sites are increasingly scarce,” said Trey Odom, President and CEO of Avera. “By combining its highly sought after location and the laborious predevelopment work Avera has already put into this project, we are confident that Baywood Logistics will successfully expand Avera’s footprint in the southeast market.”

The Cedar Port Industrial Park — a 15,000-acre project that is considered the largest master-planned industrial park in the nation has been attracting a lot of attention from developers and investors.  The Cedar Port park, located in the Baytown area,  is barge-served and served by both the Union Pacific and the BNSF railroads.
