HP Headquarters
Good news for four Houston suburbs was released today. Hewlett-Packard Co. purchased 97 acres just outside of Hockley. The land purchase was 38 miles Northwest of downtown Houston and just 18 miles from the main Houston campus. The land purchase was made in preperation for a new $250 million facility. This expansion could mean reduced commutes for residents of Cypress, Tomball, Magnolia and Hockley.
HP bought the acerage from John Beeson of John Beeson Proerties and Monzer Hourani of Medistar Corporation. HP is the first to buy land in a Northwest 389 acre industrial park that Beeson and Hourani are planning just Northwest of Houston. The property is located near Highway 290 and Betka Road. The development, which still does not have a name, is being established because of an increasing demand for industrial and light industrial space in the area, Hourani says.

Dell made a big land purchase in North Fort Worth but never did anything with it. I think they have sold it now. We have a big mall going in in the same area now.

Hi Mike,
Thanks for comming by the blog. Sorry to hear that Dell didn’t make use of that land in a way that would add to your job market.

Finally! Some good news…I’m glad to hear that HP is still planning on doing business. It seems like most companies have halted everything. Texas seems to be the “best performing” state of the decade so far.

Jayson,
Well I believe Texas will be just fine as long as oil stays above $40 a barrel.

Very good incentive to the area for a lot of new jobs. Houston is a hot market right now.

No problem they have since sold the property to a open air mall and they are starting to move around the dirt a bit.

From one realtor to another. You should be trying to figure out who handles relocations for HP right now and start smoozing him or her! This could be a gold mine for you in the near future.

Hey Mike,It really seem to be a good idea, but DELL had a similar proposition but never went far though!1

I would tend to agree… seems like a good opp. to buy, wouldn’t you say.
