Clarion Partners Real Estate Income Fund has purchased the Rojas East Distribution Center, a two-building, 370,000-square-foot industrial park located at 12590 Rojas Drive in El Paso, Texas. The seller was Hunt Southwest, which sold the property for an undisclosed amount.

Earlier this year, Clarion Partners acquired the Intermodal Commerce Park, a 1.4 million-square foot industrial park in the Dallas-Fort Worth area. Last summer, Clarion also signed a 1 million-square-foot lease with HomeGoods, for a build-to-suit project in Fort Worth, Texas.

Constructed in 2021, the Rojas East Distribution Center includes two fully leased Class A warehouses and distribution centers with 28-foot to 32-foot clear heights, 56 dock doors, 42 trailer storage stalls and 292 parking spaces. The complex is situated within El-Paso’s largest industrial and manufacturing sector, located 1.3 miles from the I-10 and State Highway Loop 375, giving it access to both downtown El Paso and its airports for quick regional and international shipping. Additionally, it is 5 miles from the U.S./Mexico border.

The Texas industrial boom

Texas currently leads the Southwestern U.S. as the top market for industrial construction, while Dallas leads the nation. El Paso ranks 4th in the state, with 5.7 million square feet under construction and a total stock of 53 million square feet, according to CommercialEdge data.

Rick Schaupp, managing director and CPREIF portfolio manager, said in a prepared statement that given the property’s strategic location at the ‘Main and Main’ of El Paso’s industrial landscape, Rojas East will position the firm to capitalize on further investment opportunities within this budding submarket.
