Construction is expected to begin soon on a new cold-storage warehouse in Brownsville, state records indicate.

The $6.7 million project includes a 52,970-square-foot cold-storage warehouse with office space at 1450 E. Zaragosa Drive. 

At nearly 53,000 square feet, the facility will be roughly the size of a standard H-E-B grocery store, positioning it to support significant produce-handling and logistics operations. 

The filing with the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation lists Gabriel Trejo Torres as the project owner and Edinburg-based jmercDesignConsulting LLC as the design firm. 

Construction is scheduled to start next week with completion expected by Dec. 7, 2026.

This information is based on preliminary TDLR filings. Project plans, costs, and timelines may change, and not all proposed developments move forward.
