Americold Realty Trust Build-to-Suit Cold Storage Facility – Laredo

Deal value: $92,000,000

Americold completed a 420,000 SF automated cold storage facility in Laredo, Texas, designed for cross-border food and pharma logistics.

The core investment motivation is to capitalize on surging demand for cross-border cold chain logistics, particularly for food and pharmaceuticals, between the U.S. and Mexico. The strategic purpose is to establish Americold as a critical infrastructure provider in a high-growth trade corridor, leveraging automation and scale to offer reliable, efficient, and compliant storage solutions. This investment is driven by the fundamental belief that nearshoring, e-commerce, and regulatory requirements for temperature-sensitive goods will continue to accelerate demand for modern cold storage capacity in key border markets.
