Modernizing in Missouri City: Developers breathe life into long-vacant building

Before

BY BRANDI SMITH

After

When the signs went up and the demo work started at 3634 Glenn Lakes Ln. in Missouri City, the calls of excitement began coming in, says Apurva Sanghavi.

“It’s exciting and a testament to the demand,” he says.

The 40,000-square-foot office building stands at the intersection of Highway 6 and FM 1092, which also serves as the entrance to Quail Valley, a master-planned community in the growing suburb southwest of Houston. Built in 1984, the building served the adjacent Memorial Hermann campus.

SEPTEMBER 2019

The hospital eventually moved closer to SH-99, as did the physicians who operated out of the Glenn Lakes building.

“Then the building was severely damaged by Hurricane Ike,” explains Joseph Esch, the economic development director for the City of Missouri City.

“It had been damaged and vacant ever since.”

It sat empty for a decade, much to the ire of neighbors who had to pass it daily. Over the years, a number of potential buyers looked at the property, but never seemed to be the right fit -until Sanghavi came along.

“The core of it is just a really fun space to look at,” he says. “It has great bones.”

A seasoned real estate investor who previously developed and sold a successful coworking space in Houston, Sanghavi was scouting opportunities for Harish Katharani, a healthcare entrepreneur who founded Southside Group of Companies. Katharani was interested in focusing his investments in real estate after recently stepping down from his 30year roles as president and CEO. “Because this is such an exciting undertaking, I felt like it would be a great marquee project for us

to get off the ground,” says Sanghavi.

No stranger to the industry, Katharani previously built 7700 Main St. in Houston’s Medical Center, which served as the headquarters of his company for many years.

“We were constantly looking for good opportunities and we came across this property. It clearly hadn’t been touched in many, many years,” Sanghavi says.

Despite its obvious challenges, something drew Sanghavi and Katharani to the property. It had unique structural aspects and, location-wise, couldn’t get much better.

“We did a little research and got in touch with the existing owners, the sons of the man who’d built it,” Sanghavi explains, adding that the sellers seemed to appreciate the experience he and Katharani had in developing properties. “Long story short, we negotiated a transaction and were able to successfully close on it.”

“We’re excited about seeing this office space coming on the market, especially because this is a property that has been vacant and damaged in Ike,” he says. “Now it’s coming back to useful purpose.”

That’s music to the ears of Missouri City leaders, including city councilman Floyd Emery.

Esch says he see the new life breathed into 3634 Glenn Lakes as another positive sign of the continued growth and development in Missouri City.

“When you look at the city itself and you see this tremendous investment that’s going on in all corners of the community, it proves what we as a city already believed,” he says. “We hope this will spur even more investment and office space near it.”

“We are excited to help drive a large impact to the business community in Missouri City and have been working closely with city officials to find many opportunities for us to redevelop and grow our real estate investments in the market,” says Katharani.

“I have championed the City’s economic development efforts for years and as a part of that effort have also worked for a long time to support the opportunities for the redevelopment of this property,” Emery says. “The renovation of this property is great for the community and I am thrilled to be able to support this development. I look forward to the new businesses that will locate here. I see this project as the latest inAshley a long list of Strickland examples of our economic development successes.”

Emery got high praise from Esch for his support for this project.

“He’s been a tireless advocate for this project and, really, for overall development and redevelopment throughout the city,” Esch says, adding that other council members are also supportive of the economic development efforts.

The next step for the property: bring the decadesold office building into the modern era. When it’s complete, the space will boast modern finishes and features to attract top business tenants to occupy the space.

there’s also been interest from medical users, such as dentists, though no one has committed at this time. “So it’ll be an aspect of executive suites and the rest of it will be filled with more traditional business-service type tenants.”

“We’ve already gutted it to the studs,” Sanghavi says.

Along with being located at a prime intersection along a busy highway, the property also boasts a two-acre parking lot.

The goal, he explains, is to offer traditional business-professional office space, though they may earmark some space for coworking as well.

“We’re doing some homework right now to see if it’s feasible in that market. It looks like it’s going to be, though,” says Sanghavi, who mentions

“We’ve already started getting a lot of activity and interest,” Sanghavi says.

The plan now is to break ground on the majority of work in September with pre-leasing getting started by the end of the year. The goal is to start moving

tenants into the space in Spring 2020.

Says Sanghavi: “That would be a great situation for us.”

It’s already a great situation for Esch, who has waited years for someone else to see the opportunities the vacant property held.

“I am surprised it took a decade to get it done, but I think those things happen for a reason,” he says. “We’re just excited to get it moving forward.”

Texas-grown, Texas-operated: How Savvy Inspections became the go-to commercial inspection company

Years later, cheap labor made its way from the border to Austin, and he saw the sign on the wall again. The combination of competing and bidding on construction contracts against cheap labor companies, plus headaches of dealing with the ineptitude of the City of Austin enticed him to make another change. Construction was no longer on the table. What different business could he open that incorporated his experience and knowledge? When the light went off in 2003, he founded Savvy Inspections. He targeted what he knew best, commercial buildings.

Then in 2007, he added environmental services to the company that was recommended one day by a lender he met at a meeting. “I never found that guy again to thank him, as now, the environmental side of the business is three quarters of our yearly portfolio.”

Steve Medina, the president of Savvy Commercial Inspections, grew up in a low-income El Paso neighborhood, quickly learning he wanted a better life for himself and future family. At 19, he enlisted Steve Medina in the Navy in 1989 and was deployed to an F-18 fighter squadron launching, recovering and maintaining fighter aircraft on the flight deck of the aircraft carrier USS Independence.

The dangerous duty of a 19-year-charged with the responsibility of a $50 million aircraft and the safety of its pilot aboard a moving ship with launching and landing aircraft around him was a big part of what he is today. He was discharged at 21 years old, then went to work for an electrical utility company and made a name for himself as a fast learner and hardworking leader.

Medina decided to leave El Paso because of cheap labor wages, relocating to Austin in 1996, where 12

SEPTEMBER 2019

his work ethic stood out among crews during the tech boom.

“Companies would advance me to foreman because I had a knack for being resourceful with what tools and men I had to work with. I took risks and tended to get the project finished ahead of schedule,” he said. “But I was also stubborn. Even though I was ex-military, I didn’t like taking orders. I wanted something more rewarding.”

When the boom in Austin began to slow, Medina saw the writing on the wall and decided to go into business for himself.

“I couldn’t get a business loan anywhere, as I had little assets and barely a pot to piss in, so I sold the only thing I owned, my beloved 1988 custom Harley Davidson,” he remembers. “it gave me the small capital to start a small electrical contracting business, which later developed into a commercial construction business.”

16 years later, Savvy Commercial Inspections is still around and has expanded its reach of services throughout the state, specializing in commercial property inspections, Phase I & II environmental site assessments, as well as remediation.

“I think outside the box. That’s why we’re the go-to inspection company now,” says Medina.

“When we inspect a property, we come with solutions, not problems. “We believe everything in a building can be repaired, and there’s no such thing as a deal killer.”

His team has the know-how, thanks to their background in construction & engineering, something that is a must for anyone Medina brings on at Savvy. He trains every inspector and has high expectations of them.

“My team knows I expect high quality of our services. Pay them what they deserve, and they’ll put pride in their work. For building inspections, I only hire inspectors with hands-on experience in construction or skilled trades,” says Medina. “someone who knows how buildings and their systems work."

The company is Texas-grown and Texas-operated, staffed with Texas educated, Texas bred people.

“When I’m looking at hiring an engineer, I scan their resume and licenses closely. If I see anywhere that says Berkeley, California, I’m throwing that one in the trash. If I suspect they’re environmental

activists, that resume goes in the trash, too,” Medina emphasizes. “I hire engineers with common sense and solutions, not someone filling their activist portfolio or showing off on Facebook.”

That’s important when it comes to the environmental site assessments. Delivering a fair Phase I Assessment is of utmost importance.

Savvy does not recommend Phase II assessments unless they absolutely have to.

“Don’t get me wrong, I love my planet and there’s plenty of properties that need calling out, but I will not betray my clients and the people who refer us. I want that client to call on us again.”

“If a property is contaminated, we’ll clean it up, usually before the date I quoted,” he says, stressing that Savvy is all about efficiency, right down to the report his inspectors write.

All reports are also reviewed for accuracy by Medina before they’re released to the client.

“The big environmental company reports are typically 200-300 pages long, loaded with pages of definitions and disclaimers that are a waste of paper and ink to our clients, so I cut that waste in half. Customers and lenders are mostly interested in the executive summary, not the history of asbestos and lead paint.”

“I’m very hands-on. When it comes to underground fuel tank removals and remediation, I’ll get in the pits. My boots don’t stay clean,” he says. “Even though we’ve already been paid, I continue calling TCEQ until we get that closure letter the client and lender have been waiting nervously for.”

Medina’s mind doesn’t stop there. He believes brokers and bankers deserve more resources to get their job done smarter and more efficiently. He teaches a CE course in Austin on Environmental Risks on how to quickly find these risks with free online tools. He’s also recently started developing an app called Property Data Wizard. This app will allow professionals to search a property by typing the address in a search bar. The search 14

“Some say I’m giving away business secrets and creating competition. I think the opposite. If I can help a client, broker or banker with their job, it makes my job easier when they come to me with some of that work already done,” says Medina.

That willingness to go the extra mile isn’t lost on Medina’s clients, who have helped Savvy

who have “great customer service.” Savvy’s described as “very reliable,” “great to work with,” “very professional, attentive” and “flexible in scheduling.” As one client wrote: “Don’t use anyone else in the state.”

Reading through those, Medina humbly says, “Reviews like those is what it’s all about. It’s the fuel that keeps us truckin.”

Caldwell Brokerage Company experts weigh in on the NW Houston market

BY BRANDI SMITH Here at REDNews, we’ve written at length about the development boom in the communities west of Houston, such as Waller County. In the past few years, that area has exploded with growth, a movement perhaps ignited by the construction of the Daikin Texas Technology Park in Waller.

“It was a great project,” he says. “It’s fulfilling to see what it’s done for the area -- not only Waller County, but Harris County too.”

“That was a game-changer for the area,” says Keith Edwards, Senior Vice President of land brokerage at Caldwell Brokerage Company.

The Daikin deal, while significant, is one of many Caldwell Brokerage has closed in the northwest quadrant of the Houston metro area.

“We have sold thousands of acres along US290 and throughout Northwest Houston,” says Edwards.

His team helped negotiate that 491-acre land deal.

Boasting 4 million square feet under one roof, Daikin’s facility employs approximately 4,000 people today, but that number is expected to grow to roughly 7,000, according to Edwards.

Caldwell Development’s slate of master-planned communities is proof of that. Several of them -- including Bridlecreek and Towne Lake -- are located very near the freeway, while many others are nestled between US-290 and SH-249.

he adds, explaining the challenges for residential developers.

Google Maps

“We’ve been doing business in this area for nearly 30 years and often hear of opportunities before they hit the market,” says Edwards.

“Developers and homebuilders look to us to find the best sites.” Caldwell Brokerage Company currently has several large development tracts available, including 563 acres in Waller, 585 acres in Magnolia, and 649 acres in Montgomery adjacent to Blue Jack National Golf Club.

Edwards notes that land prices overall are on the rise. That’s supported by data from the Real Estate Center at Texas A&M University. An acre averaged $2,735 in Texas in 2018, compared to about $1,700 in 2010. As a result, finding affordable land is another obstacle for home builders, especially since industrial developers are helping drive up prices.

Caldwell Team

“We’re seeing a lot of growth in Magnolia, too, right now. With the new Aggie Expressway extending SH-249 and Grand Parkway, activity in the Magnolia market has increased,” Edwards says. “As far as the northwest market goes, we are the experts. We sell more land than anyone in the northwest part of Harris County, in Waller County and off the 290 corridor.”

The region appeals to Edwards and Caldwell because of the availability of developable land, something that’s becoming increasingly rare. The solution for many developers is to look further from the metro core, which comes with its own challenges, per Edwards. “The farther out you go, you often find a lack of utilities. You’re not in a municipal utility district, so you have to annex into one,” 18

SEPTEMBER 2019

“Pricing on industrial land is the highest I’ve ever seen,” says Edwards. “In some cases, they’re paying more than multi-family developers.”

He attributes part of that surge to the boom in last-mile distribution development. Online retailers are looking for faster and more convenient ways to deliver their goods to consumers, which means adding more distribution hubs. Edwards points out that industrial projects run into many of the same dilemmas as residential builders.

Because of the increased challenges in finding the right property for the right project, it’s more important than ever to have the right team who knows the local market. Caldwell Companies, including Edwards and his staff, can be an excellent addition to that team.

Adds Edwards: “We’re the experts.” n

delivered. This means that over 1.5 million square feet across 26 buildings has come to market since the start of the year, and 33 buildings with roughly 1.5 million square feet remain under construction. While the majority of these developments are smaller in scale, pre-leasing overall is lagging significantly, with nearly 56.7% of the square footage set to arrive without a tenant in place. This metric remains a must watch in 2019 to ensure that supply continues to balance tenant demand in the market.

ray’s buzz

BY RAY HANKAMER rhankamer@gmail.com

CCIM August Luncheon

Speaker: Andy Icken, Chief Development Officer, City of Houston

Takeaway: Instead of restrictive red tape controls (such as zoning) the City of Houston is unique among big cities in that it lets ‘The Market’ control development. When there is a deal that the City wants but it is not quite viable, after in-depth study, the City, with approval by the Mayor and Council, may offer incentives to ensure the deal happens. This often takes place in underdeveloped neighborhoods that are hard for developers to ‘sell’ to their equity investors or lenders. If the deal is beneficial to the City, the City has a number of economic tools to help make it happen.

•A ndy Icken, who has had a long and successful career developing for Friendswood/ExxonMobil and the Texas Medical Center, has been called the City’s “Development Concierge”, as he meets with various parties to begin the process of identifying projects good for Houston and Houstonians • I ncentives are only offered if otherwise a desired project would not quite work •A mong projects ‘wanted’ by the City are affordable housing, help for low-end distressed neighborhoods, encouragement of manufacturing jobs (Icken says Houston is the largest manufacturing city in the US), corporate relocations, eliminating ‘food deserts’ in poor areas, brownfield redevelopment, and transit oriented developments •D evelopers, council members and their districts, and others may originate projects for consideration, and so can TIRZs and management districts •P roposals may also come from the international presence in Houston, since we have 93 consulates and many of them have commercial attaches representing business interests in their home countries who want to come to Houston •A mong the tools to facilitate development in the City are tax abatement, opportunity zone incentives, State enterprise zone incentives, Chapter 380 programs, historic site exemption, EB-5 international investor program, and industrial districts • I cken thinks of his department as a sort of ‘marriage broker’, bringing investors into under-invested areas so they can help the area AND make a profit • T he big challenge is to find the really good projects

•S ometimes the big developers put in approved infrastructure at their expense and receive part of it back over time from TIRZ funds •A t present there are 40-50 projects in the pipeline in Icken’s office; some of them are as follows…

•E ast End Innovation Hub, 300,000 SF warehouse is a ‘Maker’s Hub’, to help small businesses, which create 75% of the new jobs in Houston • I ON innovation Center in Midtown in the old Sears store •M ulti-use incubator community on Brittmoore on the west side, 31 acres of offices, co-working, auditorium, fitness center, and small affordable housing units for the small business entrepreneurs with 5-10 people working to develop an idea and bring it to market •5 00 acres at Ellington are in line for City-incentivized development for the ‘right’ projects • F or years innovation came mostly from Houston’s big corporations, and now it is coming mostly from small start-ups •H ouston’s airports contribute 7% to the GDP of the City, and all investment there is paid for by the airlines: $250 million from United at IAH for 757 maintenance facility and $100 million from Southwest Airlines for maintenance, following an earlier huge investment to launch Southwest’s international service from Hobby, which has been extremely successful

•S ometimes older neighborhoods, which need the help, are nonetheless resistant to change, and need to be educated to benefits of projects

•A new consolidated car rental building at Hobby at the end of Broadway will also be the destination of the METRO NEXT light rail extension to the airport

•A s far as the TIRZ money goes, currently it is being reinvested 19% in infrastructure, 15% in quality of life projects, and 65% in drainage

•C ollaboration with the business community is essential for the City’s efforts
