Construction progresses at Grand West Crossing Building 2

HOUSTON, March 20, 2025 – JLL announced today that EastGroup Properties is ahead of construction timelines on Grand West Crossing Building 2, a Class-A industrial warehouse with an anticipated delivery date of summer 2025. Having broken ground in January, the facility is the second of six planned buildings in the larger Grand West Crossing business park. JLL’s Richard Quarles, Jarret Venghaus, Geoff Perrott and Eliza Klein are handling marketing and leasing at Grand West Crossing on behalf of EastGroup.

Spanning 97,285 square feet, Grand West Crossing Building 2 is designed to accommodate a wide variety of industrial companies and will include speculative offices, double-row parking, 28-foot clear heights, ESFR sprinkler system, LED lighting, and multiple EV charging stations. The new building can be divisible to as small as 9,500 square feet, giving it the ability to accommodate a wide size range of industrial users.

“We are excited to kick off the next phase of Grand West Crossing with the tilting of panels on Building 2,” said Geoff Perrott, Executive Vice President at JLL. “Houston’s thriving industrial sector is experiencing consistent demand, and we know this facility will be a top-tier offering in the market.”

Situated near the intersection of the Grand Parkway and Clay Road, Grand West Crossing Building 2 offers direct visibility along Hwy 99 in the highly sought-after West Houston submarket and easy access to the rest of the metropolitan area through the strong freeway infrastructure system. The facility is in the heart of a densely populated area, surrounded by numerous residential developments in Katy. Nearby Grand Morton Town Center offers a variety of convenient shopping, dining and entertainment options, including Whataburger, Chick-Fil-A, HomeGoods and Dutch Bros Coffee, among others.

“With its population growth and connectivity to other major cities, as well as the Port, Houston continues to lead the nation in industrial demand and net absorption,” added Jarret Venghaus, Executive Vice President at JLL. “Grand West Crossing offers tenants quick access to the metropolitan area and its variety of resources, making it an ideal choice for users looking to capitalize on effective transportation of goods in one of the nation’s most favorable business climates.”

According to JLL’s Q4 2024 Houston Industrial Market Dynamics report, demand continued to increase throughout the metropolitan area, contributing to lower vacancy rates and very high occupancy gains. JLL reported a total of 8,882,584 square feet of leasing activity last quarter across 89 leases, with 3% of deals taking place in the West submarket. Warehouse and distribution and manufacturing users continue to dominate as construction ticked up 30% from the start of 2024, ending the year with a total volume of 12.4 million square feet under construction.
