Newell Rubbermaid Downsizing HQ, Leaving Three Glenlake

Newell Rubbermaid is packing up its HQ and moving to its own building elsewhere in Central Perimeter.

Details on the purchase were undisclosed, but it does mean that Newell Rubbermaid will be moving from its Three Glenlake Parkway campus—where it's been since the campus was developed for it by Greenstone Properties back in 2008. It plans to move to the new location by 2016.
