HOUSTON--After more than 100 years of operating a business on Washington Avenue, The Detering Co. has relocated to a new 107,000-square foot facility on a 19-acre site located at 6800 Helmers St., near Loop 610 North in Houston.

J. Michael “Mike” Boyd, principal of Boyd Commercial LLC/CORFAC International, represented The Detering Co. in a series of real estate transactions that facilitated the move. The deals, which took over two years to complete, included the sale of three parcels of land, the purchase of two parcels of land and a build-to-suit of an office and warehouse facility.

“Over the past five years, the Washington Avenue corridor has begun a transformation that is effectively changing an area of Houston that had gone through a period of decline into one big redevelopment zone,” Boyd told GlobeSt.com. “Washington Avenue runs parallel to the I-10 freeway and goes westerly toward the Memorial Park, connecting downtown Houston with some of our city's better residential neighborhoods. The location is ideal for many of the older industrial and retails sites to be redeveloped into residential, retail and other new commercial properties.”
