The Claymoore Portfolio, comprised of Claymoore Business Park and West by Northwest Business Park, features highly functional warehouses that provide a diverse range of site plans and suite sizes ranging from 12,000-275,000 square feet. Located on Clay Road and Beltway 8, Claymoore Business Park features eight cross-dock and front-load buildings totaling 1,019,000 square feet, 18’-24’ clear heights, and 960 parking spaces. Situated on West by Northwest Boulevard and Highway 290, West by Northwest Business Park features one cross-dock and one front-load building totaling 378,900 square feet, 24’ clear heights, and 746 parking spaces. The portfolio is 100% occupied by 21 tenants who have a weighted average tenure of over 11 years.

Ashley Bird, Asset Manager at Lovett Industrial commented, “Lovett Industrial is excited for the opportunity to acquire two business parks in the heart of Houston’s Northwest market. We believe these are high quality assets in high barrier to entry locations, which we feel confident will lead to outsized rent growth over our hold period. We look forward to our partnership with PCCP and continuing to build our portfolio with additional projects in Houston and beyond.”

The business parks’ core, infill locations allow for immediate access to Beltway 8 and Highway 290 and close proximity to Interstate 10, providing occupants the unique ability to efficiently service some of Houston’s most densely populated and affluent areas. The portfolio represents a unique opportunity for scale in the heart of the largest and most established industrial submarket in Houston.

“PCCP is excited to partner with Lovett Industrial, an experienced local developer and owner, on this acquisition,” said Brad Hartstein, Originations with PCCP. “Given the portfolio's location near major highways, accessibility to a significant portion of the Houston labor poll, and wide range of suite sizes, we believe this high-quality product will appeal to many tenants and experience strong tenant demand.”

Marketing and leasing efforts for the portfolio will be exclusively handled by Brian Gammill, Jude Filippone, and Darryl Noon of Transwestern. Trent Agnew of JLL served as broker on the transaction. Acquisition financing is provided by Voya Financial and was arranged by Michael Johnson and Wally Reid of JLL.

The Claymoore Portfolio is Lovett Industrial’s second stabilized property acquisition and will be managed by Lovett Industrial Management. In 2022, Lovett Industrial acquired Middlebrook Crossroads, an 18-building industrial business park, in Bridgewater, New Jersey. Additionally in the Houston area, Lovett Industrial has 3.2 million square feet under construction and 3.3 million square feet of completed developments between seven projects.
