Without pics or more info I got nothing.

Heres a wild stab for you... indoor driving range.

Okay go drive up W.Airport toward Eldridge in Sugar Land. About 3-4 miles going north toward eldridge look West and see something developing. I don't have pictures because the building is unidentified! Sorry if I don't make sense.

We still have no idea. Can you describe the thing for us? That is like saying "the aliens on the planet galzbrack have invented something" without telling us exactly what the heck they have invented. Thanks.

Thank you FedEX! :) I'm glad someone knows what I'm talking about :)

Did that company win the lotto or what?!

Are they going to need security for people to get out of their parking lot?

Is that place going to need its own stop light, mayor, etc..? my gawwwd. Its so friggan huge!! I can see the cranes and construction from my work!

Maybe...just maybe their building an oversized CVS warehouse. Muahahaha! :P

This seems like a big warehouse type of job; all nice and sprawly. Why the glee over this, then?

Is this what you all are talking about? I don't necessarily believe it is THAT great, nor do I believe they MUST HAVE hit the jackpot. Maybe we have some crackpots... JK.

[edit: for those interested, there is more info on Sugar Land's website. That website didn't sit well with me though. See "Liveable Neighborhoods"

What the heck, here I'll post the article:

"Tramontina began a 300,000-square-foot expansion to their West Airport facility. The expansion includes facilities and taxable improvements of $9 million, equipment and taxable personal property of $1 million and inventory of $11 million."]

Sounds like a cheap brand that should be Made In China... but nonetheless, I am pleased. I would be boycotting them, with the rest of the world's communist nation's products if it was Chineese.

Haha... Tramontina is actually Brazilian. Their stuff is high quality, not cheaply made stuff from China.
