TexAmericas Center (TAC), which owns and operates the 3rd ranked industrial park and is one of the largest mixed-use industrial parks in the United States, announced today its Brazos Site has been qualified as “Shovel-Ready” and is well-suited for industrial development, and prepared to be certified. The 250-acre Brazos Site is a shovel-ready, railserved, greenfield development site situated on the TexAmericas Center East Campus (TAC East). The site is at the southeast corner of the intersection of Cass and Oak streets, both 80,000 pound truck routes, adjacent to a rail spur, and served by all utilities, each with industrial capacities. The site is positioned to be the prominent development location near the entry into TAC East. This property was a wooded buffer area separating a former industrial tract from adjacent roadways and other land uses on the former U.S. Army facility.
“The Brazos Site is an exceptional location for major development, with soil suited for large construction, direct access to water and sewer, low-cost electrical power, highspeed fiber, natural gas, and impressive proximity to a logistics corridor that gives direct access to major interstates while being a Union Pacific (UP) served site,” said TexAmericas Center CEO Scott Norton.
Earlier this year, Tex-Americas Center launched its Qualified Sites Program (QSP) that is intended to improve on its brand promise of Speed-to-Market and Speed-to-Profit for companies interested in locating on its 12,000-acre industrial park in Northeast Texas. TexAmericas Center intends to pre- qualify all of its property through this standardized process to ensure the sites can meet the requirements of industry. The organization already offers tools such as expedited permitting and fast-track construction programs; working with a qualified site that is “shovel-ready” can shave months off of a development schedule. The time-savings is a valuable commodity.
