San Antonio Logistics Park is Central Texas’s premier industrial logistics and manufacturing park co-located with Union Pacific Railroad’s state-of-the-art San Antonio Intermodal Terminal (SAIT), enabling users to reduce transportation costs and achieve more streamlined supply chains. The site is located in southwestern San Antonio, directly on the Interstate 35 corridor—a primary artery in the international supply chain, connecting Mexico, San Antonio, Austin, Dallas-Fort Worth, and the rest of the United States.
The I-35 Corridor is a vital north-south Interstate connecting the Central Texas region with Mexico and Canada, making it a major beneficiary of the USMCA trade agreement. Business along the 588-mile Texas I-35 Corridor is expected to continue its growth as onshoring and nearshoring efforts expand manufacturing and production in North America.
The San Antonio Logistics Park provides users and tenants with direct heavy haul connectivity to Union Pacific’s premium intermodal service. With 32,000 miles of track, our vast network provides extensive access to intermodal ramps in growing population centers across the western United States. Connecting railroads further extend our market reach, to the east and Canada, as well as to Mexico, where Union Pacific offers unmatched intermodal coverage and serves all six major Mexico gateways.
Union Pacific provides a critical link in the global supply chain by linking 23 states in the western two-thirds of the country by rail. We serve many of the fastest-growing U.S. population centers, operate from all major West Coast and Gulf Coast ports to eastern gateways. We connect with Canada’s rail systems and are the only railroad serving all six major Mexico gateways. We provide value to roughly 10,000 customers by delivering products in a safe, reliable, fuel-efficient and environmentally responsible manner.
The seventh most populous city in the United States, San Antonio is the fastest growing among the top 10 since 2010 (16.7%). The area’s diverse economy has seen recent investment and job growth in aerospace, manufacturing, cybersecurity, tourism, healthcare, and bioscience, and is not as heavily dependent on the oil and gas industry as compared to the rest of the state. San Antonio has become a driving force in the Texas economy and has weathered the pandemic well, making it poised to continue its expansion in the near term.
San Antonio is positioned to continue benefiting from the overall business and population expansion occurring in the state. Home to two Fortune 500 companies, Valero Energy and USAA, the San Antonio area has proven its place in attracting national companies including Ernst & Young and PenFed, both of which opened major office locations in the San Antonio Metro within the last two years. As the world returns to normal following the pandemic, the area’s diversified economy - particularly its business and financial services firms, tourism industry and defense industry - will continue to provide economic stability. The ongoing migration of people and firms out of high-density, high-cost-of-living areas and into Texas should continue to benefit the region over the near and long term.
