The recent sale of the Doerr Lane Logistics Center by Baltisse-Ackerman Commercial Development to a private investor from California underscores the vibrant state of the industrial real estate market in Texas. This 307,000-square-foot Class A distribution facility, located at 9870 Doerr Lane in Schertz, is strategically positioned with access to major highways such as I-35, Loop 1604, and I-10, making it a prime location for logistics operations.
Jeff Bryant of Ackerman & Co. emphasized the property's appeal, noting its development was a response to the increasing demand for high-quality distribution spaces in key logistics corridors. The City of Schertz's support was instrumental in the project's success, showcasing the collaborative efforts between developers and local governments to meet market needs.
The logistics center is fully leased to MEI Rigging & Crating and Quality Custom Distribution, occupying 191,297 and 115,703 square feet, respectively. The leasing process was managed by John Colglazier Jr. and Kyle Kennan of Partners, demonstrating the importance of expert brokerage services in securing tenants for large-scale industrial properties.
This transaction is part of Ackerman & Co.'s broader strategy to expand its footprint in Texas, with over 3 million square feet of Class A development completed or underway. The firm's ongoing projects, including the Corporate Drive Industrial Park in Selma and the TriPoint Logistics Center in Seguin, highlight the sustained investment in industrial real estate across the Texas Triangle.
Bryant pointed to Texas's strong population and economic growth as key drivers behind these investments, with the Texas Triangle offering significant opportunities for further development. The sale of the Doerr Lane Logistics Center and the firm's active development pipeline reflect confidence in the long-term value of industrial properties in Texas, fueled by e-commerce growth and evolving supply chain needs.
