San Antonio-based Koontz Corporation plans to develop Westport Industrial Park, a 35-acre industrial project near the corner of South Callaghan Road and Highway 151 on the Near West side of San Antonio. When completed, The Westport development will be able to accommodate tenants’ space needs ranging from 25,000 to 90,000 square feet.

“The west side of San Antonio has experienced rapid residential growth over the past decade, with limited industrial inventory available for businesses supplying and servicing this burgeoning market,” said Bart Koontz, Koontz Corporation president and CEO. “The area’s manufacturing base is also poised for significant growth, and we want to be there to serve that demand. We believe our Westport project will be the right product at the right time for the city’s booming Near West area.”

The future Westport Industrial Park will consist of four 90,000-square-foot industrial buildings featuring 24-foot clear heights, ESFR sprinkler system, 130-foot truck courts and trailer parking. Westport will be built in two phases with each consisting of two buildings. Phase I construction is slated to begin during first quarter 2022 with completion by year’s end. Preleasing will begin soon.

Westport is in the design phase and additional amenities are still to be determined, as are the project consultants, all of which will be announced at a later date.

Koontz Corporation purchased the site from three sellers, two of which were represented by Harry Leeper of Leeper Commercial Real Estate Brokerage, and the other by Glen Boehm of the Boehm Team/Keller Williams Commercial Real Estate. Koontz’s in-house broker, Loren Gulley, represented the firm as the buyer.
