It seems LBA Logistics has no big plans for the 2000 Ernestine St, 2103 Ernestine St, and 4320 Harby St properties. That is, at least for now.

There are listings for the properties indicating LBA Logistics is looking for tenants. The warehouses at 2000 Ernestine St and 2103 Ernestine St are available for lease. I think the leasing materials were published in late October. LoopNet and Crexi list October 27 as the date the listing was published on the sites.

According to the marketing brochure, the overall development is being dubbed East End Logistics Park. I'm assuming this will be a business park.

Cushman & Wakefield is marketing the properties on behalf of the owner.

makes sense.

aside from there being a transit station super close, this is still car centric Houston, freeways specifically. getting to and from this place off of I-45 (even though it's like right there, you can almost touch it from the property), it's just not easy to access from the freeway like other freeway frontage locations.

getting to and from UH, again, it's like right there, you can almost touch it, that underpass is not pedestrian or cyclist friendly, at all. if the water pumps that keep it dry aren't working, it floods and you have to find other ways to get to campus (and there was almost an entire year where this was a thing off and on).

if anyone wants to build student housing off Lockwood, they'll really need to work with the city/TXDoT/railroad to improve that underpass at Elgin/Lockwood for it to be better. in a decade or so that won't be an issue with METRO doing the BRT in that space, but I struggle to see how they are going to fit everything in the fixed space they have available (especially in the railroad underpass portion of it, that's a massive bottleneck).
