Jackson‑Shaw’s two-building greensPORT Logistics Park in East Houston, located just south of Interstate 10 near the Port of Houston, reached full occupancy about a month after its late 2025 delivery when Triad Electric & Controls, an industrial electrical and instrumentation contractor and subsidiary of the Newtron Group, leased the entire 535,000 square foot campus designed for heavy truck and dock activity, showing strong demand for port-proximate industrial space, according to Bisnow.
Jackson‑Shaw’s project materials list Building 1 at about 149,477 square feet and Building 2 at 386,001 square feet, for a total roughly 535,478 square feet, as outlined by Jackson‑Shaw. The campus is marketed from 1823 Haden Road in East Houston, per the Cushman & Wakefield property page, which also names Beau Kaleel, Michael Foreman and Brooke Swerdlow as the leasing team. Both buildings were configured for flexibility, with front‑load and cross‑dock options to accommodate a range of industrial users.
Market Pressure Near The Port
That rapid lease‑up fits neatly with broader Houston fundamentals. JLL’s Q4 2025 market dynamics report shows the metro posting strong positive net absorption last year even as a large wave of new product delivered, leaving vacancy in the mid‑6% range. The firm points to roughly 14.6 million square feet of positive absorption in 2025 and about 18–19 million square feet delivered, evidence that demand has been swallowing new supply and helping explain why infill, port‑serving campuses are still drawing keen interest from occupiers and investors.
“We are very excited about the delivery of greensPORT Logistics Park and happy to welcome Triad Electric & Controls,” Jackson‑Shaw Vice President of Development Reid Watler said in a statement, per Bisnow. Watler highlighted the project’s infill location and its access to Interstate 10, Beltway 8 and the Port of Houston as selling points for heavy‑industrial and logistics tenants, language that also appears in Jackson‑Shaw’s project materials. Those locational advantages helped make the campus attractive to a contractor that needs fast highway and port connectivity.
Triad Electric & Controls is part of The Newtron Group and operates as an industrial electrical and instrumentation contractor serving refining, chemical and other heavy industrial sectors, according to The Newtron Group’s company information. That operational footprint, with regional maintenance and construction work, aligns with the kind of yard, dock and staging capacity a port‑proximate campus provides. For Triad, a centrally located Houston facility supports deployment across Gulf Coast industrial customers.
Jackson‑Shaw lists Greystar‑Thackeray as the equity partner, Burton Construction as general contractor, Goree as architect and Kimley‑Horn for civil engineering, with Comerica Bank providing construction financing, as shown in developer materials. Commercial reporting earlier in the development cycle indicated a Comerica construction loan tied to the project, a detail that helped move the campus from groundbreak to delivery. With the buildings now occupied, Jackson‑Shaw and Cushman & Wakefield will likely shift leasing energy to the developer’s other pipeline projects around the region.
The quick fill at greensPORT is a reminder that pockets of the Houston industrial market, especially properties that combine dock capacity with immediate freeway and port access, remain in high demand. With dozens of millions of square feet of new product active or under construction, landlords and brokers will be watching to see which projects can replicate greensPORT’s fast absorption.
