Toyota-Texas-San-Antonio

SAN ANTONIO — Toyota is planning a $531 million expansion of its manufacturing facility in San Antonio, which is informally known as Toyota Texas. The initiative is expected to create more than 400 new full-time jobs. The centerpiece of the expansion will be the development of a new 500,000-square-foot facility that will be dedicated to producing drivetrain parts such as transmission systems, driveshafts, axles and wheels. A construction timeline was not disclosed. The Japanese automaker’s San Antonio plant spans about 2,000 acres and has been in operation for nearly two decades. The facility is the exclusive home of the Tundra truck and all-hybrid Sequoia SUV, both of which are assembled on the same production line. The plant rolled out approximately 181,000 new vehicles in 2023 alone. To date, Toyota’s investment in the facility and the surrounding regional economy is approximately $4.7 billion. “Toyota Texas’ $531 million investment to expand its manufacturing facility in San Antonio and create over 400 good-paying jobs is a testament to Texas’ unmatched business-friendly environment, low taxes and skilled workforce,” says Texas Gov. Greg Abbott. — Taylor Williams

Now, with the investment herd very thin, it has allowed users and buyers to take a crack at the opportunities. The users face the same hurdles where the cost of capital is not cheap, but it is more palatable when their business pays the mortgage or rent. I anticipate vacancies ticking up through Q4 2024, but beginning in Q1 2025, I feel confident we will see transaction frequency rise. In turn, the vacancy rate will lead to a softening of rental rates and increased concessions, but the fundamentals are strong for the industrial market, and it will turn on a dime in Q1 2025. Majestic Sunroad continues progressing significantly with the Landmark at Otay projects, delivering roughly 845,000 square feet by Q4 2024. Their projects are significant because they are among the first with 36’ clearance heights and trailer parking, something the market has not seen. Phelan Development has also introduced some incredibly functional 32’ warehouse …
