Cold Storage (Cooler/Freezer) Warehouse Space for Sale or Lease Houston
We’ve seen a significant amount of traffic on our site involving cold storage(cooler and/or freezer)-equipped warehouses - for sale, lease and rent. We’ve pursued enough of these opportunities that we feel we’ve established a bit of a specialty in the area. We’ve updated our survey of properties as of the end of November of 2020. As with any set of properties, their status is very dynamic, so expect us to have to research for you anyway to make sure things are still available and are what the seem to be. If you need cold storage warehouse space in the Houston Metro area, please contact us for more detailed assistance.
As of the time of writing this article, we’ve identified eight properties with some form of cold storage that either are or might be available for sale or lease. One is outside the 610 loop near highway 69(Eastex). One is near East Sam Houston Parkway. The remaining 5 can be described to varying degrees to be in North to Northwest Houston. In the scheme of things, this is a sign of some scarcity, but this is also not to say that more couldn’t be found. Finding all of these took some digging, though, and change is a given in commercial real estate.
The following table outlines the different types of space available for each property.
