The 25-acre acquisition in top IOS market highlights the need for specialized storage yards fueled by manufacturing and nearshoring booms.

PHOENIX – September 24, 2026 – OmniTRAX, The Broe Group’s rail and real estate affiliate, and one of North America’s fastest growing privately held rail management companies, has added 25 prime acres in Casa Grande to its Phoenix IOS portfolio. Located near the intersection of Thornton Road and Peters Road, the new Casa Grande site is surrounded by a high concentration of industrial leaders including Hexcel Corporation, Lucid, LKQ, Tractor Supply Company and Wright Asphalt.

“The Casa Grande acquisition is our latest commitment to the Southwest region and the IOS market,” said OmniTRAX SVP Chris Tecu. “The location combines exceptional rail connectivity with custom transload and logistics solutions in one of our nation’s highest population centers.”

Driven by a massive wave of manufacturing and nearshoring projects, IOS demand in the Phoenix market continues to outpace nationwide demand. The Casa Grande submarket demand is even more intense, paced by the high density of advanced manufacturing infrastructure in South Phoenix and the geographic nearshoring advantages from the Arizona/Mexico border.

The Casa Grande site combines OmniTRAX’s recent acquisition of the Sonoran Valley Rail with its $100M commitment to build a national network of rail-served real estate sites dedicated to providing multiple supply chain solutions for its multi-market clients. The new parcel will host IOS and transload services for industrial customers serving Phoenix and the Southwest.
