Turner Industries bought a 2.4-acre tract Wednesday south of Interstate 10 near the Highland Road interchange. Sales records show the industrial contractor paid $1.5 million for the land on Highlandia Drive. The seller is listed as the Chandamuri family.
Thomas Turner, vice chairman of Turner Industries, said Thursday that construction will begin in the spring on a 20,000-square-foot facility and should be complete by late 2008.
In August, Turner Industries was one of nine local companies named to Inc. magazine’s list of the nation’s fastest-growing private companies. The magazine pegged the company’s annual revenue at $1.4 billion.
Turner said architect Tray Trahan is handling the new building’s design.
