Agribag Inc., which makes mesh and woven bags for agricultural use, will move into the 84,000-sf building in July, Mark Lehman with the Houston office of Grubb & Ellis Co. tells GlobeSt.com. With the first Houston location now in place, the plan is to open a manufacturing warehouse in Tijuana, Mexico, he says.

Lehman represented Agribag. Grubb & Ellis' John Nicholson, also in Houston, brokered on behalf of the building owner, John Madden, a Houston investor who acquired the 31-year-old building in June 2002.

Manufacturing space in Houston is bringing an average of 30 cents per sf, according to a first-quarter industrial report by O'Connor & Associates, a locally based research firm.
