After more than three decades in the Texas-Mexico border logistics industry, Commodities Integrated Logistics, often known as CIL, is investing at least $20 million in its newest industrial project near the Port of Brownsville. 

The RGV Nearshoring Industrial Park is the latest logistics warehouse project by CIL, which is a joint venture between Joaquin Spamer and Carlos Garcia.

The first building will be known as Anchor Industrial, which is already under contract with an undisclosed client in the manufacturing sector. But the nearshoring industrial site already has more than half the building under contract with future tenants. About 208,000 square feet of industrial space is still available, according to the company’s website. Anchor Industrial’s construction would cost about $12.4 million, Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation records show.
