Morgan Stanley Real Estate Investing Sells Four Warehouses on the U.S.-Mexico Border for $178 Million

Morgan Stanley Investment Management, through investment funds managed by Morgan Stanley Real Estate Investing (MSREI), announced today the sale of a portfolio of four fully leased industrial properties, two located in El Paso and two in Laredo, Texas, for $178 million to two distinct institutional investors. The warehouses, which total more than 1.2 million square feet, are located within 10 miles of the United States’ border with Mexico, which is experiencing a sharp increase in manufacturing.

Commenting on the sales, Will Milam, Head of U.S. Investments at Morgan Stanley Real Estate Investing, said: “We are pleased with the successful development, leasing and sale of these warehouse assets. With a greater focus on supply chain resiliency, companies are increasingly seeking to diversify where they manufacture goods. One result has been a shift to manufacturing in Mexico and a dramatic increase in imports into the United States, which is propelling warehouse demand along the U.S. southern border.”

MSREI commenced construction on the four warehouses in 2022. The two El Paso properties total approximately 735,000 square feet and are located just three miles from the Zaragoza Bridge Port of Entry, which facilitates approximately 70% of loaded trucks crossing into the United States through Ciudad Juárez, Mexico, a top North American manufacturing hub.

Similarly, the two Laredo properties, totaling approximately 500,000 square feet, are located nine miles from the World Trade Bridge. Laredo’s primary commercial border crossing, World Trade Bridge is the number one overall trade port in the United States among the nation’s 450 international gateways for trade.

Eastdil Secured and Newmark advised on the sale of the El Paso and Laredo properties, respectively.
