Port San Antonio: $20M, 200,000-sf project underway

SAN ANTONIO – Crews broke ground on a $20 million project at Port San Antonio that will include two new buildings spanning more than 200,000 sf. 

Port San Antonio officials plan to market the structures​—expected to be completed by mid-2018—to advanced manufacturers, logistics firms and other businesses.

This latest construction is part of a larger development strategy that includes $150 million in capital improvements intended to drive more businesses to the 1,900-acre site, which was formerly home to Kelly Air Force Base.

The port currently has more than 8 million sf of commercial space in its inventory and is 90 percent leased.

Port San Antonio plans to create 5,000 new jobs on its site by 2020.
