hbg.50 Posted December 21, 2022 Share Posted December 21, 2022 It’s perplexing to me how disbursed all of these biotech facilities are. We have TMC3, Levitt Green, The Woodlands, and now far NE Houston. Maybe it doesn’t matter? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wanting to start later this year and have it finished by the end of 2024. -Biotech in general is still a big focus. Wanting to create a 45-acre campus called BioHub Two with warehouses starting at 75kSF and going up from there. The existing BioHub One (another McCord project) is in the Boston area. -Redemption Square was discussed. Wanting to add 300kSF of retail and another 250-unit apartment building to complement the existing one. Also discussed was the possible addition of 100kSF of flex/industrial space and 8600kSF for events space and bar. No timeline for any of this. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChannelTwoNews Posted April 11, 2023 Share Posted April 11, 2023 https://www.houstonchronicle.com/business/real-estate/article/target-distribution-center-construction-houston-17857095.php Target Building 1.4 M SF distribution center here. "The Generation Park facility at 11750 Timber Forest Drive is under development by Irvine, Calif.-based real estate firm Panattoni Development Co. Research from New Jersey-based construction data firm Dodge Data suggested that a facility that shared the same project name, dubbed Project Channel, could cost $168 million. It was one of the region's largest commercial construction projects to break ground last year, Dodge said. An affiliate of Panattoni bought 145 acres for the project a year ago from McCord Development, according to Harris County deed records. Construction is expected to be complete in 2024, according to state permit filings and other documents. Designed by Ware Malcomb, state permit filings describe the Generation Park project as a “distribution center for retail goods and material handling equipment” with two levels of administrative offices, a main entry office with employee break room areas and restrooms throughout." 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The north side of houston could really develop around this area and support it. NIBRT’s mission is to help the growth and development of the biopharma manufacturing industry by providing cutting edge training and research solutions. The Institute is based on an innovative collaboration between Industry, Government and Academia and opened its world class facility in 2011 in Dublin, Ireland. https://www.nibrt.ie got the "from outside Houston" part... 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
