TCC and Daiwa House Break Ground on Phase II of Blue Ridge Commerce Center in Southwest Houston

Trammell Crow Company ("TCC"), a leading commercial real estate developer, and joint venture partner Daiwa House Texas Inc. have broken ground on Phase II of Blue Ridge Commerce Center ("Blue Ridge") in Houston, Texas. This latest phase, spanning 40.9 acres, will include three speculative buildings totaling 687,338 square feet. Phase II is scheduled for a Spring 2027 delivery.

Located at the northeast corner of Fort Bend Parkway and McHard Road in Fort Bend County, approximately two miles south of Beltway 8, Phase II of Blue Ridge will feature three industrial buildings available for lease or sale:

• Building 6: 182,908-SF cross-dock building with a 32-foot clear height
• Building 7: 303,808-SF front-load building with a 36-foot clear height
• Building 8: 200,622-SF rear-load building with a 32-foot clear height

As with Phase I, the development team is pursuing LEED certification for all three buildings in Phase II.

The groundbreaking of Phase II at Blue Ridge comes less than a year after Phase I was delivered last fall. Located on the west side of Fort Bend Parkway, Phase I includes five buildings totaling 1,350,559 square feet. Since its delivery, three of the buildings have been sold to owner-occupants, while another was fully leased. Building 2, a 157,626 square-foot front-load building, remains available.

"Phase I of Blue Ridge has been a tremendous success, and we're excited to break ground on the second phase of this Class A+ project to serve Houston's rapidly growing southwest industrial submarket," said George Farish, a Principal with TCC. "We're grateful for our continued partnership with Daiwa House and the rest of our outstanding project team."
