Blackline Cold Storage LLC and affiliates held a groundbreaking ceremony at the site of their new 298,000 sf state-of-the-art cold storage facility to be owned in partnership with Artemis Real Estate Partners at the Port of Houston, TX. The facility will provide approximately 70 new jobs to the area when the first phase of construction is complete on the 36-acre site in TGS Cedar Port Industrial Park.
“The need for cold storage in Houston is growing like crazy,” said Mike Day, CEO of Blackline Cold Storage. “It’s driven by several different factors. The import export trade through Port Houston is growing, and of course the port itself is growing, investing in major projects. There’s a big need for import export of all goods, including cold products.”
