Texas Medical Center Snags 627,000-SF Bakery for Lab and Office Space

HOUSTON-Texas Medical Center is paying about $15 million for the old 627,000-sf Nabisco bakery to be redeveloped into office and laboratory space. The 51-year-old plant was vacated by Nabisco Inc. last year when it shifted production to facilities in other parts of the nation.

A variety of cookies, Ritz crackers, graham crackers, Chips Ahoy and Cheese Nips snacks were baked in massive ovens there over the years. The Nabisco plant, which is situated on a 21-acre site, is located at the corner of Holcombe Boulevard. and Almeda Road, near the Veterans Affairs Medical Center.
