Tesla snaps up Houston-area property for unknown facility – By Dan Carson (Houston Chronicle) / Jan 13, 2023
The electric automaker has purchased a large section of business park west of Katy with apparent plans of expansion, according to a new report.
Tesla is expanding its operations into the Houston area with a forthcoming facility slated to open in the township of Brookshire, according to a new report.
News of the expansion was broken Thursday by the Houston Chronicle’s Marissa Luck, who learned that the electric automaker has signed a lease in the Empire West Business Park in Brookshire, just miles west of Katy. The purchased property features 1.03 million square feet of space and industrial facilities with commercial shipping bays, among other features.
Marissa reports that Tesla was issued a certificate of occupancy for the space in October 2021 and is listed as a tenant in Building 9 of the 300-acre business park. Brookshire interim city administrator Mike Barnes told Marissa that the city does not know the entire scope of Tesla’s plans and has only been in contact with the Elon Musk-owned entity for the purpose of processing permit submissions.
