What Lovett Plans Along the Eastex Freeway

Lovett Industrial is advancing plans for two new warehouse buildings along the Eastex Freeway in Houston. The company expects to invest approximately $40 million in the developments, which will total about 790,000 square feet. One building will span approximately 645,000 square feet, while the second will include about 145,000 square feet. The warehouses are planned at 16517 and 16455 Eastex Freeway.

What the Construction Timeline Includes

Construction on both industrial buildings is scheduled to begin in September 2026. Lovett expects construction to take approximately one year, placing anticipated completion around September 2027. The source did not identify tenants for the properties or specify whether the buildings will be developed on a speculative basis. An architect and general contractor were also not disclosed.

What the Projects Add to Lovett’s Houston Portfolio

The two developments would increase Lovett Industrial’s portfolio of Houston-area projects to 15. The additional warehouse space will expand the company’s presence in its home market while adding nearly 800,000 square feet of industrial capacity along one of the region’s major transportation corridors.

What Lovett Has Developed Since 2020

Lovett Industrial was founded in 2020 by President Charlie Meyer and Lovett Group owner Frank Liu. Since its launch, the company has developed and acquired more than 21 million square feet of warehouse space across 16 U.S. markets. Lovett also has another 15 million square feet planned for future development. The company’s growing development pipeline reflects its continued expansion in major logistics and distribution markets across the country.

What Other Houston Projects Lovett Is Building

In November 2025, Lovett Industrial broke ground on a 668,077-square-foot speculative distribution center near Ellington Airport in southeast Houston. Combined with the two planned Eastex Freeway warehouses, the project highlights Lovett’s continued investment in large-scale industrial development across the Houston region.
