Buchanan Capital Partners and Vault Partners Break Ground in Houston
With vacancy rates hovering near 3.6 percent in the Southwest Houston industrial corridor, developers are racing to meet demand for specialized space. Austin-based Buchanan Capital Partners and Houston’s Vault Partners have finalized a joint venture to build the 321,120-square-foot Wildcat Distribution Center, targeting the region’s growing manufacturing sector.

Located at 222 Holmes Road, the project sits inside Beltway 8 with direct access to US-90 and State Highway 288. The site is positioned roughly 15 minutes from the Texas Medical Center and Hobby Airport, placing it in one of the city's most supply-constrained infill locations. While the broader Houston metro reports an average vacancy of 6.3 percent, the Inner Loop South submarket remains significantly tighter, prompting the development of this Class A cross-dock facility.
Beyond its location, the project distinguishes itself through high-capacity infrastructure. The center features 10,000 amps of power, a specification intended to attract advanced manufacturing firms and data center-adjacent tenants. Demand from these sectors has increased sharply, with data center-related logistics leasing in the area quadrupling since 2022. Vault Partners will manage construction alongside FCL Builders, while Michael Foreman of Cushman & Wakefield oversees leasing. BancFirst is providing the construction financing, with Goree Architects serving as the lead designer.
