Pharmaceutical Manufacturing Project Coming To Sugar Land: The Houston Deal Sheet
DeliverIt Group plans to invest $11.9M in developing a 60K SF pharmaceutical facility in Sugar Land Business Park.
DeliverIt Group has been a family-owned specialty pharmacy headquartered in Sugar Land since 2010, and its expansion will be supported by a $1.3M performance-based incentive funded through the Sugar Land Development Corp.’s 4A sales tax program.
The new-build project will be at a site adjacent to DeliverIt Group’s headquarters at 12144 Dairy Ashford Road, Suite 100. It will be a U.S. Food and Drug Administration-registered, Current Good Manufacturing Practice-compliant 503B outsourcing facility, meaning it will compound large batches of sterile medications.
The project will create 55 jobs and expand the company's capabilities from specialty pharmacy and infusion services into advanced pharmaceutical manufacturing. This investment comes as Sugar Land works to position itself as a hub for life sciences and healthcare innovation.
