Update: Construction Commences on El Campo Business Park

Construction on phase I of the 540-acre SW International Gateway Park has commenced, with the El Campo, TX development providing a “strategic opportunity for businesses that ship goods between the United States and Mexico,” said Zack Markwell with Stonemont Financial Group at the groundbreaking.  Stonemont is financing the park, which is being developed by Ridgeline Property Group.

One of the reasons is because Kansas City Southern, the railway offering service at SW International Gateway, is offering fast, cross-border transportation into and out of Mexico, with customs pre-clearance and lower-cost service than truck transports. KCS’s rail access, through Kansas City Southern de Mexico, offers service to the Port of Lazaro Cardenas, on Mexico’s Pacific Coast.

The park is at Interstate 69 and U.S. 50. Upon buildout, it will support up to 10 million square feet. The developer can deliver build to suits within a year of the executed lease.

The Connect Industrial conference will take place July 11. For more information, or to register, log on here.
