Houston-based Sysco Corporation, distributor of foodservice products, announced plans to build a 635,000 square-foot distribution complex on 50 acres recently purchased in the northeast satellite community of Schertz at Interstate 35 and Schwab Road.
The new facility will reportedly consolidate operations out of Sysco-owned properties in both San Antonio and Round Rock. The San Antonio facility (330,000 sf) is located at 5711 FM 78 and the Round Rock facility (163,000 sf) is located at 101 Chisholm Trail.
It is not yet clear whether the space occupied by Sysco’s SYGMA affiliate will also relocate to the new facility. If so, more than 249,000 square feet currently occupied by SYGMA at 5620 Rittiman Plaza will be returned to the multi-tenant market which would increase vacancy in the Northeast Distribution Warehouse submarket.
