by Kristin Harlow

SAN ANTONIO — Toyota Motor North America (TMNA) has unveiled plans to invest $3.6 billion to expand the Toyota Texas manufacturing campus in San Antonio with a second vehicle assembly line to support production of the Tacoma truck. The expansion will create 2,000 new jobs and add 2.5 million square feet to Toyota Texas, doubling its size by 2030. TMNA will transition Tacoma production from Toyota Motor Manufacturing Baja California, located in Mexico, to the expanded Toyota Texas plant over an approximate four-year period. Toyota Texas currently includes a vehicle assembly line and new rear axle plant that is nearing startup. “The 2,000 acres of South Texas ranchland our plant stands on today was purposefully selected for its ability to scale with vehicle demand, and today marks the first step toward realizing that potential,” says Frank Voss, TMNA group vice president of truck manufacturing and president of Toyota Texas. This expansion brings Toyota’s total investment in San Antonio to $8.3 billion since breaking ground in 2003. Toyota’s local workforce will climb to approximately 6,000 team members, supported by 23 onsite suppliers and their employees.  For nearly 20 years, Toyota Texas has rolled out trucks and SUVs, assembling more than 197,000 …

Southwest Florida’s Industrial Market Is Primed for a Surge

by John Nelson

When it comes to the Florida commercial real estate market, the conversation typically gravitates toward the larger metro areas. However, for those of us on the ground, it’s clear that Southwest Florida is becoming a key player in the state, particularly for industrial users.  By nearly every measurable standard — population growth, job creation and infrastructure investment — Southwest Florida continues to outperform much of the United States. Industrial users and investors have taken notice, and so far in 2026, leasing activity has already outpaced all quarters in 2025. According to the latest Colliers market report, the market has absorbed 115,777 square feet of flex and industrial space in the first quarter alone, compared to fourth-quarter 2025 which saw (-189,303 square feet) of negative absorption.  This is due to pent-up demand from users taking a cautious “wait-and-see” approach last year. And while the factors preventing them from making decisions in 2025 still exist, the sheer necessity of a physical presence in the area has finally outweighed the perceived risks.  ‘Supply reset’ On paper, the data might give pause.
