McAllen-based Abasto Properties LLC plans to start construction of a wholesale produce market in San Antonio. The 80-acre site sits near the corner of Loop 410 and I-37 in south San Antonio.
The project will be completed in at least three phases and will include a total of 200 warehouses. The first phase, consisting of 60 warehouses, should be finished by the end of 2014 or early in 2015.
The company started pre-selling warehouse units in 2013.
The project will consist mostly of small- and medium-sized warehouses operated by Mexican exporters desiring a presence in the market.
- All warehouse units are 3,100 square feet with an additional 900-square-foot mezzanine for offices;
- All warehouses will be refrigerated;
- Each cold room can hold up to 156 pallets — about seven truckloads;
- Temperature in the loading areas will be controlled to ensure cold chain continuity;
- Each warehouse features a 450 square-foot covered dock;
- The project will feature extra-wide streets for easy truck maneuvering; and
- Each warehouse will have plenty of vehicle parking in front plus ample general parking for visitors and trucks.
