Americold has announced that it has purchased a temperature-controlled storage facility in San Antonio, Texas, adding another state-of-the-art food distribution center to its growing network. The building is operated as a food distribution center and currently is under a long-term lease to a retail client.

Americold is a global leader in temperature-controlled warehousing and logistics to the food industry.

“Americold is very excited to be adding a second San Antonio facility to our organization, extending our company’s standing as the leading owner-operator of temperature-controlled infrastructure in the world,” commented Fred Boehler, president and CEO of Americold. “We’re always looking for strategic opportunities to enhance our network, and the location of this facility—on the north east side of San Antonio, close to the I-35, I-10, and I-410 interchanges—is ideal.”

With a footprint of more than 384,000 square feet on a 26 acre site, the facility has three temperature-controlled rooms that can accommodate frozen, refrigerated, and air conditioned dry space. The building, featuring twin docks that offer cold and air-conditioned operations for 57 dock doors, includes almost 42,000 square feet of office space.
