42.56 IOS acres trade across Houston and DFW

Two Texas IOS trades define this issue: Apricus Realty Capital added an 18.56-acre pipe storage and distribution yard in Northwest Houston, while Realterm's 24-acre Hutchins facility was newly circulated in the market press. The common thread is functional yard depth, highway access, and credit-oriented industrial tenancy in two of the most active logistics markets in the country.

The Headliner: Apricus adds a leased Houston IOS yard

Apricus Realty Capital acquires 18.56 acres in Northwest Houston

The site gives Apricus another large-format IOS asset tied to energy, pipe, power generation, chemical processing, and industrial demand. The acquisition was completed with ABR Capital Partners as part of a programmatic IOS and infill industrial aggregation strategy.

Transaction Details:

**Purchase Price:** Undisclosed
**Property:** 11403 N. Houston Rosslyn Road, Houston, Texas
**Site:** 18.56 acres | approximately 53,000 SF
**Tenant:** American Piping Products
**Buyer Lead:** Matt Haley, Managing Principal, Apricus Realty Capital
**Capital Partner:** ABR Capital Partners
**Debt Advisory Team:** CW Sheehan, Jack Britton, Peyton Ackerman, and Nate Henderson, JLL Debt Advisory

Realterm adds a 24-acre Hutchins fleet maintenance and IOS facility

Realterm's Hutchins acquisition gives the firm a fully paved and secured South Dallas asset with direct I-45 frontage. The facility can support a single large fleet user or be split for two tenants, which is a meaningful flexibility point in a market where functional maintenance supply is constrained.

**Site:** Approximately 24 acres
**Market:** Hutchins / Dallas-Fort Worth
**Key Features:** 23 drive-in doors, nine drive-through maintenance bays, one wash bay, fully concrete-paved yard, secured fencing, lighting, and expansive parking.
**Buyer Lead:** Gianni Vissat, Vice President, Investments, Central Region, Realterm
**Senior Fund Lead:** Ed Brickley, Managing Director and Senior Fund Manager, Realterm
**Seller / Broker Team:** Not yet disclosed

What the new Texas activity is saying

The latest verified activity points to continued investor preference for sites with real yard utility, not generic industrial acreage. Houston's energy and pipe distribution base and South Dallas' fleet access both support occupiers that need paved outdoor capacity, maintenance functionality, and direct highway connectivity.

Market Snapshot: July 2026

**Verified Texas IOS acreage this issue:** 42.56 acres
**Houston asset profile:** 100% leased pipe storage and distribution yard
**DFW asset profile:** Fleet maintenance and IOS facility with heavy bay count
**Demand Drivers:** Energy infrastructure, industrial distribution, fleet maintenance, and logistics access
**Local Expert:** Matt Haley, Managing Principal, Apricus Realty Capital

Operating Context

Texas IOS buyers are prioritizing functional improvements

Both verified Texas items include meaningful building utility alongside yard capacity: Apricus' Houston property includes roughly 53,000 SF of warehouse and service facilities, and Realterm's Hutchins asset includes maintenance, warehouse, and office buildings totaling roughly 43,800 SF.

Practical takeaway: Institutional IOS buyers are still paying attention to hard-to-replace operational features, not just acreage.
