Ensinger Buys Clay Development BTS, Showing Northwest Is Still King
Ensinger, a global producer of engineering plastics, purchased a 61k SF custom-built manufacturing facility under construction on nine acres at 12331 Cutten Rd. The one-story building will be completed by Clay Development this summer. It includes a 20-ton crane, dust collection systems, gas-fired ovens, built-in equipment foundations and a 900 SF canopied area.
Clay Development’s Charlie Christ (who graciously talked to us while he was volunteering at the Houston Rodeo yesterday) repped the seller. He tells us the Ensinger building is well-placed in the northwest part of town. Despite all the buzz around the southeast/Port submarket, Charlie says northwest is outpacing the rest of the city in new industrial space largely thanks to transportation access and demographics. Northwest Houston is home to young, skilled, blue-collar workers.
