HPI Real Estate Development has scooped up roughly 25.4 acres along Interstate 35 in Schertz, adding another big piece to the fast-filling industrial stretch between San Antonio and New Braunfels. The newly acquired tract sits inside an established cluster of logistics operations and is being teed up for industrial use, though specific building plans and a construction timeline are still under wraps. Local brokers say the land’s proximity to major fulfillment centers puts it squarely in the running for distribution or light-manufacturing tenants.
Deal details
According to the San Antonio Business Journal, HPI closed on the 25.4-acre site at 285 Friesenhahn Lane on May 13, 2026, with plans to develop it for industrial users. Partners Real Estate brokers Stan Nowak and Andrew Alizzi represented the buyer in the deal. The Business Journal report is the first mainstream look at the sale and lays out the core facts on the location and acreage.
Where the land sits
The property occupies a slice of ground between IH-35 and FM 482 in the high-growth corridor separating Schertz and New Braunfels, as noted by REJournals. Listing information places the site at 285 Friesenhahn Lane, tucked in among existing logistics facilities and backing up to an Amazon fulfillment center and a Sysco distribution hub, per LoopNet. Brokers have highlighted the parcel’s light-industrial zoning and direct highway access in marketing materials, pitching it as a spot that could be leased quickly by logistics operators.
Why developers want this stretch of I-35
Investors have been combing the San Antonio–New Braunfels market for large industrial tracts as demand tied to e-commerce and food distribution continues to build. HPI already runs a San Antonio office and maintains a multi-market footprint in Central Texas, according to HPI Real Estate. The San Antonio Business Journal has previously chronicled HPI’s moves in Schertz and along the broader I-35 logistics corridor, underscoring why this particular run of highway keeps drawing industrial money.
What's next
For now, HPI has not publicly named tenants or released a construction schedule for the Schertz acreage, and trade coverage says the details are still unsettled. That reading comes from broker commentary and trade reporting cited by REJournals. The City of Schertz’s roadway impact-fee and planning documents flag Friesenhahn Lane as a corridor under study for future capacity needs, which could influence how quickly the property is fully built out; the city’s planning materials outline those scenarios in more detail.
