McALLEN, Texas — A new cold-storage facility is planned along Military Highway in McAllen, a corridor that hosts major produce importers and sits near the region’s international ports of entry.
The $8 million project, listed as Mega Produce Cold Storage Warehouse in state filings, includes 45,496 square feet of space at 5100 Military Highway.
Plans call for a two-story office area totaling 14,713 square feet and a 30,783-square-foot refrigerated warehouse.
The site is positioned within McAllen’s cold-chain and logistics zone, where companies move high volumes of fruits and vegetables through nearby crossings with Mexico.
The filing with the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation lists Mega Produce LLC as the project owner and Austin-based designer Roel Bazan as the design firm.
Construction is scheduled to begin March 2, 2026, with completion expected by March 2, 2027.
This information is based on preliminary TDLR filings. Project plans, costs, and timelines may change, and not all proposed developments move forward.
