What do you call the day before Thanksgiving? Around here, it’s #WarehouseWednesday. These are your need-to-know deals in Texas this week.

➤ Cohen Asset Management expanded its industrial portfolio in Texas with a massive purchase in a key market.

The California-based firm, which has an office in Dallas, bought the 668,800-square-foot Sunridge II, a Class A+ distribution center at 1700 North Goode Road in Wilmer, a Southern Dallas suburb.

CBRE brokered the sale for an undisclosed price. The property is fully leased to a tenant who wasn’t named. This is Cohen’s second warehouse purchase in Texas since October.

Seller Scannell Properties built the facility, off Interstate 45 a mile from the Union Pacific Intermodal Terminal, last year.

➤ ICYMI: Scannell wants to build almost a million square feet of warehouse in Grand Prairie and is awaiting city council approval in the suburb of Dallas and Fort Worth.

➤ A massive industrial park is on its way to Austin thanks to a local investor.

Ron Mills of Industrial Group Southwest invested about $31 million to develop a four-building industrial park near Austin-Bergstrom International Airport, adding to the state’s capital’s rapidly growing industrial market.

Four shell warehouses of varying size and scale, totalling 479,000 square feet, are slated to be completed by early 2024.

Austin’s Travis County has been a hub of industrial development in the past year.
