Stotan Industrial is proud to announce a strategic joint venture with Realterm, an independent global investment manager focused on the transportation industry, to develop a Class A industrial outdoor storage (IOS) facility in Laredo, Texas—one of the nation’s most critical trade gateways.

Sitework is scheduled to begin shortly on the 25.82-acre development, which will deliver an IOS product tailored to the needs of today’s logistics operators. The project will feature a 19,710-square-foot maintenance space with seven drive-through bays and one drive-in bay, as well as a 2,250-square-foot office/parts area that is expandable to 3,375 square feet. Designed with efficiency in mind, the site will provide 699 trailer stalls and five points of ingress/egress to ensure smooth traffic flow. It is also being built to meet CTPAT (Customs-Trade Partnership Against Terrorism) standards, strengthening security while expediting cross-border operations. The project is scheduled for completion in Q2 2026.

Laredo remains the top U.S. port for trade by volume, handling $142 billion in commerce with Mexico—far surpassing China at $684.3 million. Year-to-date, trade through Port Laredo is up 5.37%, with imports from Mexico increasing 6.15% and overall U.S.–Mexico trade rising 4.1%. Leading imports include motor vehicle parts, commercial and passenger vehicles, computers, cell phones, and related equipment, which collectively account for more than 37.8% of Mexico’s shipments to the U.S.

“Stotan is excited to partner with Realterm to bring a differentiated IOS offering to the Laredo market—one of the most dynamic trade corridors in North America,” said Bobby Patterson, Texas Market Officer of Stotan Industrial.

"This new partnership combines Realterm’s deep transportation industry knowledge with Stotan’s proven development expertise to deliver best-in-class logistics facilities designed for the evolving needs of our customers,” said Hunter Leonard, Associate Vice President, Realterm.
