Creacom, which currently leases a smaller space in north Houston near I-45 and West Road, plans to build a 25,000-square-foot to 30,000-square-foot operations center in Tomball South Business Park, according to David Butler of Colliers International's Houston office. He represented the seller, 2978 Industrial Properties LLC, a group of private investors from Houston. Creacom was represented by Janet Lucy of Carswell Real Estate.

Butler tells GlobeSt. that Creacom bought enough land to construct a facility with a large yard for storage – a hard-to-find amenity for smaller industrial buildings. The acreage also offers frontage on the heavily traveled Hufsmith-Kohrville Road and provides quick access to Tomball Parkway (Highway 249) and FM 2920.

Butler notes that most land in Tomball is restricted with mineral rights or easements, given its previous history as an oil and gas field. In contrast, Tomball South Business Park has no such restrictions. The park, which is served by City of Tomball utilities, has several sites available for sale, lease or build-to-suit from one acre to 16 acres. Butler has been marketing the park since early 2009.
