TGS Cedar Port Industrial Park signs tenant for entire 420,510-SF distribution center underway

October 10, 2025

The country’s largest rail-served industrial park has secured a new tenant.

Savannah, Georgia-based Supply Chain Management LLC has pre-leased the entire DC 9 distribution center under construction on 23.4 acres at 5300 E. McKinney Road in the TGS Cedar Port Industrial Park outside Baytown, Partners Real Estate said. The lease was signed in September.

TGS Cedar Port Partners broke ground on the 420,510-square-foot, cross-dock warehouse last month and anticipates completing it in March.

The building will feature a 50-foot curtain wall glazing on three corners, 7,534 square feet of spec office space, 40-foot clear height, 8-inch slab, LED warehouse lighting, an ESFR sprinkler system, 185-foot truck courts, 136 trailer and 230 car parking spots, and ring road access on all sides of the facility.

Partners’ John Simons represented TGS Cedar Port Partners in the lease negotiations. Brad Beauchamp with Colliers represented the tenant.

TGS Cedar Port Partners President James Scott said he welcomes Supply Chain Management LLC to the park and called the lease a “strong indicator of market confidence” that “reinforces Cedar Port’s position as a top-tier hub for logistics and distribution in the Gulf Coast region.”

The 15,000-acre industrial park has more than 25 million square feet of industrial and manufacturing warehouses, over 4 million square feet of which are owned by TGS Cedar Port Partners. Some other users include Niagara Bottling, Floor & Décor and Ikea, whose two warehouses were bought by Atlanta-based real estate investment company MDH Partners last year.

More than 10,000 acres are available for sale, lease and build-to-suit developments on sites ranging from 5 to more than 1,500 acres.

Dual rail service is provided by Union Pacific and BNSF, and infrastructure includes heavy utilities and direct barge access.

TGS Cedar Port Partners also recently broke ground on DC 10, which has the same size and nearly identical specifications as DC 9 and is situated on 23.4 acres next to it. That building is expected to be completed in the second quarter of next year. Partners is marketing it for lease or sale. Houston-based Angler Construction is the general contractor, and Powers Brown, also based in Houston, is the architect for both DC 9 and DC 10.

Other distribution facilities planned include the 609,000-square-foot DC 5 and 300,000-square-foot DC 6. In addition, TGS Cedar Port Partners plans to build a cross-dock warehouse spanning more than 1.2 million square feet after leasing the adjacent 1.2 million-square-foot DC 4.

Elsewhere in the park, TGS Cedar Port Partners recently sold 25 acres to Abundia Global Impact Group LLC and leased 85-, 14- and 6-acre improved outdoor storage properties to three separate general contractors, the company said.

In the third quarter, Rochester, New York-based Constellation Brands (NYSE: STZ) moved into the entire 496,421-square-foot DC 2, according to JLL. Partners announced that lease this past spring as the largest in Houston in 2025 thus far but did not disclose the tenant.

Last year, Cedar Port expanded its storage capacity by 900 railcars to more than 5,500 and is working to add another 1,000 railcar spaces. It expects to complete half of those by the end of the year.
