HOUSTON—Advance Auto Parts is soon to be located at the intersection of Farm to Market Road 1960 and Aldine Westfield Road. A 30,000-square-foot land parcel has been purchased along with a 7,000-square-foot lease put in place on behalf of the auto parts retailer, says Baker Katz cofounder and principal, Kenneth Katz.

Construction on the retail structure is to begin this month and opening is slated for May 2016. Traci Holman and Jason Baker of Baker Katz represented Advance Auto Parts.
