The city made it official today: Lowe’s, one of the world’s largest home retailers, has signed a lease for 120,000 square feet in the Kyle Crossing Business Park where it plans to open and operate a distribution center, joining Amazon, which announced in July it was leasing 308,000 square feet in the same complex, located at 1980 Kohlers Crossing.
I have reached out to Lowe’s corporate offices seeking to learn how many workers the company plans to employ at the facility and when it expects to start operations. I will update this story if and when I receive a reply. Amazon said it plans at least 200 workers at its Kyle facility.
“The City of Kyle has long been well positioned to become a logistics hub, but we needed facilities on the ground to compete,” Mayor Travis Mitchell said. “Kyle Crossing has proven that Kyle is a highly desirable location among marquee companies at an opportune time when more and more of these businesses are expanding their logistics operations.”
The Kyle Crossing Business Park, located a block west of I-35 at the southwest corner of Kyle Crossing and Kohlers Crossing, is considered a part of Plum Creek and the Lowe’s lease continues a trend to attract commercial enterprises to that area of the city.
“Plum Creek has become a major employment center in Kyle because it offers a convenient and highly accessible location in a true live-work-play environment that appeals to companies and their workers,” said Momark Principal Terry Mitchell, who oversees development at Plum Creek. “This combination is difficult to find anywhere, especially in an environment that is as business-friendly as the City of Kyle and the State of Texas.”
