Just on the heels of GSR Andrade’s Whirlpool Distribution Center (Wilmer, Texas) winning the Dallas Business Journal’s “2011 Best Industrial Deal of the Year”, our latest Caterpillar project in Schertz, Texas has also scored a win as the San Antonio Business Journal’s “2011 Best Land Deal of the Year”.
Negotiators spent about a year hammering out a deal for Caterpillar Inc. to locate the 275,000 s.f. engine head manufacturing plant currently under construction on a 54-acre tract in Schertz.
Because the operation will supply the Caterpillar assembly plant located 18 miles away in Seguin, the Schertz deal gives momentum to the city, whose boundaries reach into three counties, and to an ongoing regional approach to economic development.
