6/24/2008 (Houston, Texas) – The recent construction, demolition and construction of the new Fallbrook facility in Houston, Texas had passersby scratching their heads over the activity that was being witnessed at the construction site of this massive structure. In late 2007, developer Liberty Property Trust awarded Cadence McShane the construction assignment to erect a new 615,000 square foot, LEED™-CS (Core and Shell) registered building at its 38-acre site just south of the Sam Houston Race Park in northwest Houston. Construction was proceeding on schedule with sitework, foundations, concrete floor and exterior tiltwall panels in place when Home Depot expressed interest in leasing the entire building for its new distribution center if certain modifications could be made to tailor the building to its specific requirements. Liberty Property Trust consulted with Cadence McShane to understand the timing and parameters of converting the now-standing 615,000 square foot shell building into a customized 535,000 square foot build-to-suit for Home Depot. Rapidly re-engineering the building to accommodate such a divergence from the original plan, crews began to disassemble the east side of the building and relocated the existing tiltwall panels to create a larger employee parking area. The western portion of the facility was also disassembled and reconstructed to add a third loading dock to meet Home Depot’s requirements. Munson Kennedy Partnership, architect for the project, played a crucial role in the redesign of the project. Cadence McShane will complete the new Home Depot facility for Liberty Property Trust in Summer 2008.
