Prologis Breaks Ground on Final Phase at Port Crossing Commerce Center in La Porte

Prologis Adding On To Massive La Porte Logistics Park
CRE Market Beat Take
Speculative expansion at Port Crossing Commerce Center signals continued confidence in Houston logistics demand and reinforces the advantage of scale for institutional industrial owners. For capital providers, Prologis’ throughput and GDP impact metrics underscore the strategic importance of core distribution hubs in portfolio allocation decisions.

Prologis has started construction on the final phase of a speculative industrial development at Port Crossing Commerce Center, its logistics park in La Porte, TX. The new phase will add 290,000 square feet of industrial space across two buildings, further expanding the scale of the master-planned park.

With this phase underway, Port Crossing Commerce Center is planned to exceed 2.7 million square feet distributed across 11 buildings. The final phase is designed as two separate facilities, one totaling 120,013 square feet and the other 109,214 square feet, contributing to the park’s multi-building logistics footprint. The space is being delivered on a speculative basis, with no tenants referenced in connection with the new construction in the available information.

Port Crossing Commerce Center forms part of a much larger Prologis presence in the Houston area. The company reports that its commercial property portfolio in Houston includes more than 200 buildings. In total, these assets comprise over 37 million square feet and serve more than 550 customers, underscoring the firm’s concentration in one of the country’s key logistics and energy-related markets.

Beyond Houston, Prologis highlights the scale and economic footprint of its global network. Across its platform, the company reports 1.3 billion square feet of assets in 20 countries. Its facilities handled $273.2 billion in throughput in 2024, activity that Prologis associates with a $31.8 billion impact on global GDP and the generation of $5.2 billion in tax revenues, according to the company.

Prologis also notes that it estimates roughly 3% of global GDP moves through properties it owns. Taken together, these figures frame the La Porte expansion as one incremental component within a broader international logistics portfolio, while also emphasizing how heavily trafficked logistics parks such as Port Crossing Commerce Center contribute to goods movement and economic activity.

The current information does not specify the delivery timeline, projected lease-up, or targeted tenant mix for the new La Porte buildings. It also does not disclose development costs or financing details, but positions the project within Prologis’ strategy of scaling large logistics parks in major distribution markets.
