BROWNSVILLE, TX – OmniTRAX, Inc., one of the largest, privately-held transportation service companies in North America and an affiliate of The Broe Group, today announced an agreement with Majestic Realty Co., the nation’s largest, privately-held industrial developer and owner of master-planned business parks, to build Class-A warehouses on a 200-acre parcel within the GEOTRAC Industrial Hub at the Port of Brownsville, Texas.
The new relationship and anticipated development of up to 2.8-million square feet over 15 years is expected to attract diverse companies, particularly wholesale distributors, to the region, driving job creation and helping to grow the economy in the Rio Grande Valley.
