HOUSTON-A former Uncle Ben’s warehouse will now be used to store coffee beans, thanks to a 170,000-sf lease signing by Cadeco Industries. The coffee manufacturer, an affiliate of Eximius Coffee, owns an adjacent 200,000-sf bean processing plant.

Doug Nicholson of Grubb & Ellis Co. tells GlobeSt.com that the entire site had belonged to the rice-manufacturing giant, Uncle Ben’s. A few years ago, Midway Cos. had bought the 27.5-acre compound at 5518 Clinton Dr. in east Houston from Uncle Ben’s. That move had closely coincided with Uncle Ben’s November 1999 decision to roll all of its operations into Mississippi. The existing coffee bean plant had been used as a rice processing facility, which Midway had hawked to Cadeco in early 2000.

The warehouse is a freestanding structure positioned at the intersection of Lockwood and Clinton. Nicholson says the part metal, part concrete block building is a third-generation, rail-served location.
