The locally based food distributor, founded in 1936, just moved into the build-to-suit, which is expandable to 400,000 sf. The 33-acre development at 11303 Antoine St. has been more than two years in the making.
With the move complete, Glazier's longtime broker, Mike Hill of Mike Hill Properties in Houston, is negotiating to sell an 88,270-sf warehouse at 2727 Summer St. for $2.6 million. To date, Glazier has sold three buildings, totaling 130,341 sf, near the downtown, but for sentimental reasons is holding onto its original headquarters and freezer building, a 45,000-sf building along Oliver Street.
Hill tells GlobeSt.com that Glazier Foods couldn't expand its business with the estimated 200,000 sf that it had in the five buildings. "They just reached a point where they knew they couldn't continue to service their clients the way that they were doing things," he says.
Glazier Foods' design-build development, constructed by Dillard Construction Services Inc. of Houston, contains 105,000 sf of dry food storage, 30,000 sf of cooler space, 53,000 sf of freezer space and 20,000 sf of headquarters space. Hill says the company eyed more than 50 locations since it decided more than two years ago to bring the operation under one roof.
