Independence Business Park
Independence Business Park was developed to fulfill an underserved sector of the industrial market by providing 17,025 to 27,030 square-foot spaces in southwest Houston. Located near Beltway 8 and State Highway 288, the 19-acre property will eventually include seven freestanding crane capable light industrial buildings that feature 10 percent office buildouts and grade-level doors.
The 145,185 square-foot development is being delivered in four consecutive phases. Phase one was recently completed in January 2020 and includes two buildings on the southwest corner of the property. Build-to-suit options are being offered, including a 3-acre tract reserved for a build-to-suit or retail center on McHard Road.
Finding large land tracts outside of the 500-year flood plain is challenging in Houston. This scarcity has slowed industrial development in the southern region compared to the north and northeast submarkets, where the majority of new industrial development has been happening. This project’s site was unique because it is outside of the 500-year flood plain and had access to city utilities. The successful delivery of this property brings much needed capacity to serve the growing industrial space needs of the area.

Karbach Brewery
Karbach Brewing Co is a two-story, 22,040 s.f. brewery and restaurant/tap house with two event spaces and indoor and outdoor seating. The brewery is enclosed by clean modern architecture, featuring exposed steel members, curtain wall glass, and horizontally mounted metal panels. The restaurant and tap room has more of a rustic feel through the use of reclaimed wood, rusty tin panels, and repurposed pipe light fixtures. The overall effect is high tech meets ice house, which perfectly aligns with the unique culture Karbach has created.
Houston has never been known as a beer city, but the expansion and development of Karbach has served as the catalyst for the craft beer industry in our local economy. Featured in 2013 by The New Yorker for over 1000% growth, Karbach was recognized as the second fastest growing brewery in the country. Since Karbach’s project, Houston has grown to a 20+ brewery city, with more coming online every year.

Gorrondona Engineering Services, Inc. (GES) provided Construction Materials Testing services for this project. The building and garage foundations consisted of shallow spread and strip footings.

Recenter
Recenter is designed for Hope Harbor/recenter, a non-profit group whose mission provides rehabilitation services to Houston’s homeless population, including educational initiatives in addition to housing and addiction services. The new recenter replaces a complex of structures that had become inadequate for the scale needed and impact necessary to achieve this mission. Located on Main St. in Houston’s Midtown District, the property strategically sits next to the city’s light rail.
The project is a ground-up five-story 50,500-sq.-ft. multi-use building with dining room, meeting room, lounge, offices, 62 individual residential units, terrace, and landscaping. The residential units include full bathrooms and kitchenettes.
Also included in the project are common living areas, a dining hall, a kitchen to feed up to three shifts of 150 people during each meal and an administrative office. A key driver in the design was to bring the outdoors inside, which you experience as you travel though-out the building.
Outdoor amenities include terraces, porches, and a vegetated roof where the residents can grow their own vegetables. Construction included a two-story steel podium plus three floors of a prefabricated light-gauge steel wall system. This innovative method, not previously used in the area, helped to reduce costs and shorten the construction schedule by three months.
This hybrid construction approach utilized structural steel for levels one and two, while levels three through five were prefabricated out of CFMF by DBC. DPR also self-performed the concrete and drywall scopes of the building. The project is vital to the development of the newly expanded Midtown and Main Street corridor.
Relevant Metrics
- 30,000 sf of prefabricated structural load bearing wall panels.
- Budget came in at same cost as conventional steel.
- An 8-man crew expedited in 13 days what would have taken up to 60 workers on site to construct in 3.5 months.
- Installation flew at 2,300 sqft of panel per day. 4 times faster than conventional steel, concrete, or wood.
- 30,000 sf of structure, framing, and sheathing completed in 13 days.
- The podium (2-story steel structure) took 16 weeks to perform the same scopes.
- Pre-fabrication resolved local trade labor deficiencies.
- Utilizing prefabrication minimized personnel onsite which avoided trade stacking and site access issues.
- Zero safety incidents.
- Only 2 QA/QC panel issues that were resolved in the field.
