La Porte’s giant logistics playground is getting its final build-out, as Prologis breaks ground on the last phase of Port Crossing Commerce Center with two new speculative warehouses totaling roughly 290,000 square feet. The expansion pushes the master-planned park past 2.7 million square feet across 11 buildings, a sizable bet on port-adjacent space near Houston. Construction on the two parcels started in January, and Prologis lists both sites as available in October 2026. The new buildings, about 120,013 and 109,214 square feet, are aimed squarely at distribution and logistics users looking to hug the ship channel.
According to ConnectCRE, this marks the final speculative phase at Port Crossing, with one facility planned at roughly 120,013 square feet and the other at about 109,214 square feet. The outlet reports that with these additions, the park tips over the 2.7 million square foot mark, cementing its status as one of La Porte’s key industrial hubs.
Why La Porte Is A Big Deal For Port Logistics
Port Crossing sits on Highway 146 less than three miles from both the Barbours Cut and Bayport container terminals, a location that effectively turns the park into a front porch for maritime freight, according to Prologis. The company’s page lists the two development sites as roughly 7.97 and 9.0 acres with Highway 146 frontage and utilities already in place, which helps speed up the path from lease to full operations for tenants. For companies moving import-export cargo, being that close to the terminals can trim drayage time and shave operating costs, a small geographic edge that can matter a lot in high-volume logistics.
Park Activity And Tenant Demand
The park has not exactly been sitting idle. In January, LS Cable & System USA announced the opening of a logistics hub at Port Crossing, according to a Business Wire release, a move that underscores the pull of port-proximate space. Historical leasing activity and broker materials, including a Colliers write-up of past Port Crossing deals, show the park has drawn a mix of distribution and manufacturing users in recent years. Taken together, that track record suggests developers still see plenty of appetite for modern Class A industrial product ringing the Port of Houston.
Prologis Scale And Local Impact
Prologis is playing this game at global scale. The company reports that nearly $3.2 trillion worth of goods moved through its warehouses in 2024 and that its portfolio spans roughly 1.3 billion square feet, figures it published in a company report last year. The same report flagged Texas as a major stronghold, estimating about $273 billion in goods flowing through Prologis facilities in the state, which helps explain why it keeps pouring money into the Houston area. Local brokers say projects like this one bring short-term construction jobs along with medium-term logistics capacity right where shippers say they need it most.
The next storyline to watch is whether these speculative buildings get snapped up ahead of delivery or hit the market as blank-slate options for third-party logistics firms. If port volumes continue to rise, the Houston corridor is likely to stay high on developers’ priority lists. With Prologis targeting October 2026 availability, leasing activity over the coming months will offer one of the clearest readouts on just how tight the local industrial market really is.
