PHARR, Texas - A one million square foot manufacturing, assembly, and distribution center - the largest of its type in Hidalgo County - is to be built in south Pharr.
Around two dozen excavators are already on the site leveling the ground. Construction is expected to take around 15 months.
The tenant is MasterBrand, which manufacturers kitchen cabinets. Among the retail outlets that sell MasterBrand produces are Lowe’s and Home Depot.
The developer of the site is Majestic Realty out of California. Majestic is the largest industrial developer in the country of privately-owned properties.
The 600-acre masterplanned Majestic International Trade Port, being developed on the corner of Hi Line Road and Veterans Boulevard in South Pharr, is being built in phases.
When fully complete the park will have seven million square feet of covered space. MasterBrand is taking up one million square feet of the seven million planned.
MasterBrand have not said anything publicly yet.
However, Janie Cavazos, property and business development manager for Pharr Economic Development Corporation, did include details of the project during her recent presentation at IWS4.
“We are really excited about this. We are glad to announce that on either Nov. 6th or Nov. 8th they will be groundbreaking ceremony. Hopefully we all get invited,” Cavazos said.
