Macy’s Opens New 900K SF Tomball Distribution Center

The more than 908,000-square-foot facility was built with the help of an economic incentive program from Tomball. Macy’s is receiving up to $580,000 in tax incentives from the city for its facility. In turn, the company must spend at least $35 million to develop and operate the facility, operate it for at least five years and create a minimum of 103 full-time jobs. The project is the first phase of what is expected to be a much larger business park.

Houston-based Lovett Industrial and New York City-based Clarion Partners developed the project on the southwest corner of the intersection of the Grand Parkway and State Highway 249. The warehouse was built by Houston-based Harvey Builders and features 40-foot clear heights and 380 parking spaces for trailers and 476 for cars.

While it’s a bit smaller than Macy’s old distribution center, the new one maximizes efficiency by having all operations on one floor as opposed to the previous three floors. The facility handles store fulfillment, big-ticket direct-to-consumer delivery, central returns and toys.
