A 457K SF manufacturing facility is underway, and a Brookshire industrial park is more than doubling in size as Houston has the second-largest industrial development pipeline in the country.

RevKo Commercial Real Estate broke ground on Phase 1 of AeroPoint 1960, a 457K SF manufacturing and crane-served campus at 5301 FM 1960 E. in North Houston, JLL announced Monday.
Phase 1 will include five buildings totaling 202K SF, while Phase 2 will add 255K SF of built-to-suit and design-build opportunities.
Separately, MetLife Investment Management and Panattoni Development Co. are building a 450K SF second phase at the joint venture’s Enterprise Park at Twinwood, a master-planned industrial development in Brookshire.
Phase 2 comes after the full lease-up of the first phase, which totals 272K SF, as noted by CBRE.
These projects are being built as Houston has 20.7M SF of industrial space under construction, the second-largest development pipeline in the country, according to JLL data.
The metro saw 5.4M SF of industrial absorption in the third quarter, which is 15% above the 10-year quarterly average, according to Partners Real Estate. Absorption over the trailing four quarters totaled 22.3M SF, the most since Q3 2023.
Houston’s industrial market is about 7.5% vacant, while manufacturing vacancy was only 2.5% in the first quarter of 2026, JLL reported. AeroPoint 1960 will address demand for freestanding manufacturing and industrial outdoor storage across the Houston market, according to the press release.
Phase 1 will include five buildings totaling 202K SF, each with dedicated IOS yards and the ability to support users requiring crane-served manufacturing space. Delivery is slated for Q3 2027.
“Manufacturing users are facing a very different market than traditional warehouse and distribution users, with limited availability of specialized, crane-served space across Houston,” JLL’s Geoff Perrott said in a statement. “AeroPoint 1960 is well positioned to meet that demand.”
Perrott and JLL’s David Holland, along with RevKo’s Boomer White, are marketing the development. RevKo’s Jon Sellers will lead the development.
MetLife and Panattoni moved on to the second phase of Enterprise Park at Twinwood in Brookshire, a growing city west of Houston, after Danish wind turbine manufacturer Vestas leased 131K SF at Building 1 in August, the Houston Business Journal reported.
Abnex, a cable systems manufacturing joint venture between ABB and Niedax Group, previously leased the 91K SF Building 2.
Phase 2 will include three buildings ranging from 91K SF to 181K SF, with two buildings mirroring Phase 1’s designs. Another building on an adjacent parcel will have a different layout and additional land for outdoor storage.
Buildings 3 and 4 are expected to be completed in June, and Building 5 is slated for completion in July, according to CBRE.
The leasing of Phase 1 underscores the strength of the Brookshire submarket, said Todd King of Panattoni Development. Phase 2 will deliver “additional high-quality product that meets the evolving needs of today’s industrial users, including enhanced flexibility and outdoor storage capabilities,” he said.
CBRE’s Faron Wiley, Billy Gold, Charles Herold and Jett Bush will continue to market the project on behalf of MetLife and Panattoni.
