North Houston: Nine-Building Industrial Park Going Up

Houston, – Adkisson Group has obtained construction financing for a nine-building industrial development in North Houston.

IPA Capital Markets, a division of Marcus & Millichap serving major private and institutional clients, arranged the loan through Amegy Bank.

Cullen Atchison and Hayden Sieling of IPA worked with Amegy Bank’s Jackie Contreras and Hannah Murphy to secure the financing.

“Adkisson Group’s development experience, along with the project’s premier location and flexible design were key strengths in securing this financing,” said Atchison. “We are pleased to have secured financing with Amegy Bank that positions Adkisson to deliver a well-designed project in a highly accessible North Houston location.”

Commerce Center Industrial Park

The Commerce Center Industrial Park project, totaling 509,250 sq ft, will be built on 36 acres within North Houston Commerce Business Park, a 189-acre development of Houston-based Partners Real Estate at the southeast corner of FM 1960 and Aldine Westfield Road.

Ranging from 30,000 to more than 150,000 sq ft, the buildings will accommodate distribution, logistics, light manufacturing, and multi-tenant users.

Partners developed the shovel-ready business park through its Land Fund 1, launched in 2022. All of the land in Phase I has sold.

Portman, an Atlanta-based firm, kicked off the park with the purchase of 41 acres for Gateway 1960, a 714,233-SF industrial project, its first in Houston. On another tract, a national developer plans a build-to-suit for a Fortune 50 tenant, as stated by Partners.
