Volkswagen Completes $114M Freeport Campus

KDC completed the new $114 million Port of Freeport facility for Volkswagen Group of America (VWGoA). 

Situated on 120 acres about 63 miles south of Houston, the new Gulf Coast hub will import and process up to 140,000 Volkswagen, Audi, Bentley, Lamborghini, and Porsche vehicles annually, supporting about a third of VWGoA’s U.S. retail dealers. This new campus encompasses several service buildings totaling more than 200,000 square feet and asphalt parking for more than 16,000 vehicles, trucks and railcars. 

KDC partnered with PRP Real Estate, VWGoA and Port Freeport on the new facility. The project team broke ground in late 2022, consolidating two smaller Texas facilities in Houston and Midlothian. The new facility creates 110 direct jobs along with numerous indirect jobs in areas such as trucking, rail and vessel operations.

Stewart Development & Construction served as a general contractor, and Goree was the architect.
