Two Houston-Area Industrial Projects Add Roughly 900K SF Of Manufacturing Space

Two industrial developments in the Houston area are moving forward as the metro holds the second-largest industrial development pipeline in the country, according to JLL data cited in the report.

RevKo Commercial Real Estate has broken ground on Phase 1 of AeroPoint 1960, a 457K SF manufacturing and crane-served campus at 5301 FM 1960 E. in North Houston. Phase 1 will include five buildings totaling 202K SF, with Phase 2 adding 255K SF of built-to-suit and design-build space. Delivery of Phase 1 is slated for Q3 2027.

Separately, MetLife Investment Management and Panattoni Development are building a 450K SF second phase at Enterprise Park at Twinwood, a master-planned industrial park in Brookshire. The first phase is fully leased, and Vestas has leased 131K SF there. Remaining buildings are expected to finish between June and July.

The metro recorded 5.4M SF of industrial absorption in the third quarter, about 15% above the 10-year quarterly average, while manufacturing vacancy was only 2.5% in early 2026. JLL's broader industrial vacancy sits near 7.5%.

For developers and lenders, the takeaway is that specialized, crane-served manufacturing space remains scarce in Houston, supporting pre-leasing and build-to-suit strategies.
