Hanover & TIG launch new industrial project in prime Houston location

Hanover Company, alongside Transwestern Investment Group (TIG®), is excited to announce the ground-breaking of Kirby 288, a single 213,425-square-foot speculative cross-dock warehouse in Houston, Texas. The project is situated on the city’s south side, west of SH 288 and at the northwest corner of Kirby and Mowry. The facility will feature a flexible building layout, excess trailer storage, and convenient access to major transportation infrastructure.

With SH 288 and Beltway 8 proximity, Kirby 288 will benefit from easy access to the city’s most potent demand drivers for prospective tenants, including the Texas Medical Center, the Port of Houston, and the rapidly growing residential populations of south, southwest, and southeast Houston.

“We’re proud to be working on this exciting project with high-caliber teams like Transwestern Investment Group, our partner, and Comerica, our lender,” said James Melody, Development Partner at Hanover. “Houston is one of the most dynamic and energized cities in the country right now, and this development reflects that momentum.”

Designed with broad usability in mind, the project will offer 213,425 square feet with a 36-foot clear height and 360-foot building depth, allowing for maximum tenant flexibility and adaptability.

“We’re creating a flexible and thoughtfully designed industrial space that can adapt to the needs of a wide range of tenants,” said David Hudson, President of Hanover Industrial. “Simply put, we’re building a best-in-class facility that’s designed with the end users in mind and delivered with the attention to detail for which our team is known.”

Transwestern Investment Group (TIG®), in partnership with Hanover Company, acquired the site on April 30, 2025. The project represents a strategic opportunity in a high-growth, supply-constrained submarket of Houston.

“The Houston industrial market continues to offer strong fundamentals, and Kirby 288 is well positioned in a prime infill pocket of the city,” said Mike McKenzie, Director of Acquisitions at TIG. “We believe the site’s strategic location and flexible design will appeal to a broad range of users.”
