    A thumbnail photo of a specialized bridge crane in a warehouse setting | Warehouse FinderCranes are an integral part of many warehouses - especially those involved in heavy manufacturing, repair, storage, or shipping of some heavy items. They facilitate the movement of large, heavy items throughout large clear areas of your warehouse, making operations more efficient. But not all cranes are created equal, and the type of crane that would be most beneficial to your operations largely depends on your specific needs and the building specifications.

    Why can’t this landlord just divide up the space in this warehouse to lease me exactly the amount and type of space I need? I know - it seems like a simple thing to do. And sometimes, it can be fairly simple. BUT, there are complications. This article is intended to discuss a fair subset of the issues complicating the divisibility of warehouses with various resources to share - or not to share.

    Article Synopsis
    The 4800 Fidelity re-development has leased more quickly than expected.  Out of 140,000 SF of existing buildings we leased 88,000 SF and are adding two more buildings for another 9,000 SF of office and warehouse leased.
     
    That leaves us with a single 54,000 SF freestanding warehouse building to lease.  This is a clear span building on approx. 2 acres or so with up to 6 additional acres available.  This building can accommodate up to 20 ton cranes and 30- hook heights. 

    Also, we can construct to suit crane served warehouses up to 100,000 SF on the excess land at this site.  Call Eric Hughes at Centermark Commercial Real Estate for more info on the Fidelity property or for a proposal to construct a new warehouse facility.

    Article Synopsis

    The Port of Houston is the leading US port for volume in total tonnage, according to the American Association of Port Authorities 2010 report.  With the widening of the Panama Canal coming soon, the anticipated need for crane served manufacturing and material handling space in Houston is anticipated to skyrocket.  At the time of this post, there is already a definite shortage of quality industrial property for lease which can accommodate overhead crane service.  Fewer than 8 or 10 buildings exist East of Houston’s CBD which have existing crane(s) and very few have much storage yard and/or adequate hook height. 

    While there are a few smaller projects in the works from local developers, the future need is likely to force product to other ports which have the existing facilities in place to handle the business.  Some local heavy freight logistic companies estimate the shortage for such properties to be in excess of 1,000,000 SF  by January of 2014.

    McCorvey Real Estate Holdings has two projects in the works in near East Houston with buildings of 20,000 SF up to 100,000 SF with crane spans of up to 70’, hooks up to 35’ and tonnage to 35 tons.

    Warehouse leasing in Houston has really picked up steam since the first of the year.  Businesses which are looking for warehouse for lease need to be proactive and start early in the search.  That being said, there are still functional, well located properties available to rent.
