Titan Industrial Development
(TID), a fully integrated real estate operating company
specializing in corporate facilities and industrial real estate
development, has signed a long-term ground lease for 62 acres at
East Kelly in San Antonio, Texas for the development of a rail
served industrial park.
Called East Kelly RailPort, the facility
will be located at the port’s rail terminal of the same name.
The development will offer distribution warehousing for dry and
temperature controlled products along with rail transload
operations. The project also has more than 20 acres for rail to
truck transload and intermodal operations, providing services
for all types of transportation modes.
The first phase of the East Kelly RailPort
development requires the relocation of existing utilities, along
with the demolition of more than 175,000 square feet of obsolete
military buildings in order to clear the property for the new
development. The first of the warehouses is a 360,000 square
foot concrete tilt-wall rail served industrial facility with
30-foot clear height and dock loading for 23 rail cars and cross
dock loading for 60 truck docks.
The Titan project at the East Kelly
RailPort terminal is located adjacent to the Union Pacific rail
yard providing significant cost, time and operating benefits to
its tenants. It is the first development of facilities built on
spec at the port, which has direct rail connections to Mexico,
Canada, Long Beach, Houston and Corpus Christi.
“In addition to the importance of Port San
Antonio as an aerospace complex, the port is poised for success
in the next few years as a global logistics platform, due to the
dramatic growth in world trade. As an alternative to traditional
U.S. ports, Port San Antonio can successfully handle cargo
moving from China through Mexico pacific ports then on to San
Antonio,” says Ron Mills, president of Titan Industrial
Development. “This development feeds seamlessly into the trade
agreement signed late last year with Mexico. Overseas shipments
