368 Acres – The largest contiguous piece of land

Immediately adjacent to the new port. A rare, large-scale site offering unmatched flexibility for phased development, expansion and long-term value creation.

Location: 2800 Feet to Port / 2600 Feet to Highway 80

Exceptional proximity to the new commercial port and major highway infrastructure (4–5 lanes), enabling fast, efficient, and cost-effective logistics operations.

Full Utilities Along Property Edge – 75-Year Buildout Capacity

Fully serviced infrastructure at the property boundary, engineered to support decades of scalable industrial development with long-term certainty.

Light
Industrial Zoned

Zoned for Light Industrial (LI) use makes it ideal for logistics, manufacturing, technology, and clean energy ventures.

Opportunity
Zone Designation

Significant tax deferral and capital gains advantages that enhance long-term returns for qualified investors.

Foreign Trade
Zone Designation

Potential duty reductions and streamlined customs processes that improve operating efficiency for import- and export-driven businesses.

LARGE, 300 FT WIDE DRAINAGE BASIN BLOCKS WESTWARD ACCESS

This 2-mile basin blocks westward development expansion, making nearby eastern land development opportunities more exclusive.

Robust No-Cost Security
Perimeter from Port

A unique, triple-layer federal security environment providing enhanced protection without additional capital or operating expense.

Flat, Raw Land that
Maximizes Design Flexibility

A level, undeveloped site that maximizes efficiency, site planning flexibility, and build-to-suit potential.

Exceptional Relationships
at County and City Levels

Established local and regional relationships that support streamlined approvals, reduced timelines, and greater development certainty.

Proximity
to Airport

The site's location near Bisbee-Douglas International Airport, about 10 miles northeast of the commercial port, provides air logistics capabilities — ideal for manufacturing and/or transporting time-sensitive goods.

Planned
Rail Hub

Planned rail infrastructure in the area complements the airport and new commercial port— ideal for high-volume shipments.

In my analysis, the subject tract ranks #1 among speculative industrial development opportunities along the entire U.S.–Mexico border.
