Lunada Rose Partners has acquired Vault Distribution Center, a 185,413-square-foot industrial property in Houston. Vault Partners was the previous owner and developer of the facility, according to CommercialEdge information.

The initial asking price for the property was $21.9 million, but the final purchase price was not disclosed. The facility traded in an all-cash transaction.

The developer acquired the land in November 2022 and started construction on the 16-acre property in March last year. The distribution center came online earlier in 2024 and is already fully leased to Empire Auto Parts, as part of the company’s expansion into the Texas market. The agreement was signed last November, the same source shows.

The distribution center is at 13612 Furman Road, providing easy access to Highway 288. Downtown Houston is within 12 miles, while the George Bush Intercontinental Airport is some 31 miles away.
