Located at 5750 Sam Houston Pkwy. East, High Ridge IndustrialPark will have 125 flex office and warehouse buildings, rangingfrom 1,950 sf to 2,100 sf. Also included will be a centralconference facility and high-tech connections in a "smart park"design. Construction will begin in April, with build-out to be doneby year's end.

Robert E. Legault, president and COO of Worthington DevelopmentLLC, says his company and the Betz Cos. will roll out "smart parks"all along the Beltway 8 corridor. He says they own enough acreagefor two more developments and have options to buy two moreparcels.
