Rail Access Key to New Baytown Industrial Park

A partnership between Pontikes Development, Watco and McNair Interests is breaking ground on two buildings at their Port 10 Logistics Center – a multi-modal industrial park in Baytown, TX. Building 3 will be a 450,873 square-foot rail-served facility. It’s set to be completed in Q3 2023, and Building 5, a 179,255 square-foot cross-dock facility, will deliver in Q4 2023. 

Building 3 boasts rail connectivity to the Union Pacific (UP) main line and direct access to UP’s Coady Yard. Building 5 offers direct access to the I-10 feeder road, accommodating users ranging from ±90,000 square feet and up. 

This first phase of construction, delivering in Q1 2023, will include off-site railway infrastructure with a capacity of up to 420 rail cars. The second phase will increase this capacity to an additional 1,200 rail cars bringing the total capacity to ~2,000 cars. A JLL team led by Richard Quarles is handling the leasing on behalf of the Palmetto Pontikes project.
