UPS plans new distribution center in northwest Houston - Houston Chronicle
UPS plans to build a 260,000-square-foot distribution center in northwest Houston in an effort to meet growing demand for local package deliveries.
The shipping giant filed a building permit Sept. 26 for an industrial building at 11770 N. Gessner, near Willowbrook Mall. The $17 million project would be built by Alston Construction, a Houston-based general contractor, according to BuildZoom, a San Francisco-based construction data firm that tracks permits.
UPS opened a temporary small-package distribution center on the site last year to support its operations during the holiday shopping season. It's unclear whether UPS plans to tear down the temporary facility to build a new center, which would be the company's fifth in Houston.
