LAREDO, TX—Laredo does more trade with Mexico than any other city does with any other country, says Majestic Realty Co. In response to the strong bilateral trade environment and demand from a growing list of companies including a 200,000-square-foot lease and full occupancy of its initial building, Majestic is constructing a 423,280-square-foot building 2 at Port Grande Logistics Port set for completion in fourth quarter 2019.
“It's the region's largest speculative industrial building that we can confirm,” Kyle Valley, Majestic Realty Co. senior vice president, tells GlobeSt.com. “There is not as much space on the Laredo side of the border, and while it is not a secondary or tertiary market, it is very important. It surpassed $300 billion in trade last year. It is the third-largest US customs point of entry after the Port of New York. Interestingly enough, it is often not in the conversation although 96% of the trade in Laredo is just with Mexico.”
