Inside Building III: Scale and Specs
Building III represents the third phase of development at Gateway Logistics Park and adds meaningful capacity to the project. The facility spans 345,394 square feet with 36-foot clear heights, designed to support high-volume distribution and flexible warehouse layouts. It includes 59 dock doors for efficient loading and unloading and 2 ramp doors to accommodate a range of vehicle types and tenants’ operational needs.
For trailer logistics, the building features a gated staging area with 98 trailer spaces. With this addition, total trailer parking at the site rises to 173 spaces, helping streamline yard management and peak shipping activity.
Location and Access
Sited just east of the previously delivered Buildings I and II, Building III benefits from quick connectivity to Loop 375. It also sits approximately 7.5 miles from a key border port, a practical advantage for companies handling cross-border logistics, time-sensitive distribution, and regional supply chains.
Delivery Team and Development Partners
Construction of Building III was completed efficiently under general contractor Harvey-Cleary, with Pritchard Associates providing logistical oversight. The development was a coordinated effort involving Provident, WestStar Bank, and Singerman Real Estate. Guided by Managing Director Case Van Lare and Chris Martin, Provident continues to focus on projects that meet rising demand for well-located industrial facilities.
