Liberty Property Trust (NYSE: LRY) has begun work on two industrial buildings totaling 212,000 square feet located in Liberty Northwest Business Center in Houston. The buildings are the company’s second and third sustainable development projects in Houston.
The first building will be an 84,000-square-foot flex facility at 5500 N. Sam Houston Parkway West. The second building will be a 128,000-square-foot warehouse building located at 14031 Hollister Road. Both will be located in the rebranded Northwest Business Center, formerly known as Beltway at Bammel, at the northeast corner of Beltway 8 and Highway 249.
Each building will feature advanced fire suppression systems giving tenants the flexibility on product type to be stored, and the ability to accommodate high levels of office build-out, plus a shared 200-foot truck court. Malvern, PA-based Liberty, which is seeking LEED-CS certification, estimates completion of both projects in January 2012.
Green features will include enhanced daylight views and insulating glass, energy efficient lighting, high energy-efficient HVAC equipment, along with low-flow plumbing, among other water-saving features.
Liberty acquired two multi-tenant industrial buildings totaling 326,400 square feet at the center in 2007. With both buildings fully occupied, the company will expand on its remaining 28 acres. Liberty can add up to four more additional buildings in the business center.
The architect for the development project is Perry Seeberger, the engineer is Terra Associates, and the general contractor is Cadence McShane.
