HOUSTON—The Randall's grocery freezer/cooler warehouse and distribution facility at 10700 Telge Rd. was originally constructed in 1983, and expanded in 1984 and 1996. The grocery/dry warehouse was constructed in 1999 and the freezer was constructed in 2000.

Today, Albertsons Companies has retained Binswanger as the exclusive agent for the sale of its single-story 700,644-square-foot facility on approximately 70.24 acres. The building is comprised of 398,000 square feet of grocery/dry warehouse space, 119,500 square feet of perishable/cooler warehouse space with maintained temperatures of 34° to 54°, 113,200 square feet of frozen warehouse space with a maintained temperature of -5°, 30,800-square-foot maintenance shop, 17,000-square-foot asset recovery center, 15,500-square-foot truck maintenance shop and 6,200 square feet of air-conditioned office space.

Holmes Davis of Binswanger's Dallas office is the lead broker for this property. Binswanger is aggressively marketing the property to retail grocery companies, refrigerated/food-type companies including food processing and food distributing providers, as well as wholesale trade–drugs/druggist sundries, apparel, grocery/related products, beer, wine and distilled alcohol; retail trade, for example, specialty food/food and beverage stores, food services, transportation and warehousing entities, and third-party logistics prospects.

“Naturally, the highest and best use is a grocery or refrigeration facility, as it is more money to convert it,” Davis tells GlobeSt.com. “We are targeting the e-commerce giants, the Amazons, Targets and Walmarts, and suppliers of the Goodman property 15 miles northwest of here might be interested.”

The facility is constructed of 12- to 16-foot reinforced concrete floor throughout, with a Glycol heating system under the freezer floor, concrete tilt walls with MRP panels in the freezer, steel columns spaced 48 by 60 feet, ceiling heights ranging from 25 to 40 feet and built-up metal deck single-ply membrane roof.

Key features include combination of high-pressure sodium and fluorescent lighting, 100% early suppression fast response dry/wet sprinkler system with 300,000-gallon water tank on-site, all utilities, fiber optics, one 2-ton bridge crane, truck scale, forklift repair area, floor drains in two of the vaults, gas-powered infrared space heaters in dry space and Union Pacific rail line adjacent to the property with the possibility to extend a rail spur to the site.

“The floor thickness, amount of power for refrigeration and the potential rail spur could lend itself to manufacturing but its best use is grocery distribution,” Davis tells GlobeSt.com.

Located 20 miles northwest of the Central Business District, the site is situated on the Northwest Houston corridor in the Aberdeen Business Park. Its location offers access to US Highway 290 and is minutes from Sam Houston Tollway 8, Interstate 10, Route 6, FM 1960, Loop 99, Interstate 601, Interstate 45, Interstate 69 and Interstate 249. Houston Intercontinental Airport is 30 miles, Houston Hobby Airport is 38 miles and the Port of Houston is approximately 32 miles from the site.
