Researched by Industrial Info Resources (Sugar Land, Texas)--Texas is taking a leading role in the U.S. Industrial Manufacturing Industry with nearly $3 billion in projects set to kick off in first-quarter 2021. The projects cover a range of sectors, including data centers, distribution facilities, port projects and electronics manufacturing.
Data centers are taking on increasing prominence throughout the world as people shelter in place from the pandemic and perform tasks such as business meetings, school and shopping from their homes. Texas is home to several large data center projects that are set to kick off in the upcoming quarter. Among the largest of these is Apple Incorporated's (NASDAQ:AAPL) (Cupertino, California) planned grassroot data center in Austin. The 244,000-square-foot building will be built on a 133-acre site and equipped with supporting equipment and systems to serve as a data management site. Construction is expected to be completed in late 2022. For more information, see Industrial Info's project report.
Coupled with data center construction in the U.S. is a rise in e-commerce, and Amazon.com Incorporated (NASDAQ:AMZN) (Seattle, Washington) has taken a leading role in this field with several planned projects in Texas, such as new distribution centers in El Paso and Pflugerville, near Austin. The 2.8 million-square-foot El Paso facility will have four stories and is planned to be completed by the end of 2021. For more information, see Industrial Info's project report. The Pflugerville facility also is planned for completion by the end of next year and includes construction of an 820,000-square-foot building to support regional fulfillment and distribution operations. For more information, see Industrial Info's project report. Together, these projects have an estimated total investment value of $500 million and are just two of the many Amazon projects slated for Texas.
Phase I of a three-phase port project will kick off in Point Comfort, Texas, on the Gulf Coast between Corpus Christi and Houston, to support the movement of liquid cargos and accommodate future growth. Phase I includes constructing a deepwater berth and two barge berths, along with a new liquid product dock to support those ends. The project is expected to kick off early in the quarter and be completed by the end of 2023. For more information, see Industrial Info's project report.
Texas also is important in cutting-edge technology fields. In New Braunfels, Continental AG (Hanover, Germany) plans to begin construction on a radar sensors manufacturing plant. The 215,000-square-foot facility will allow the manufacture of equipment to aid in advanced driver assistance systems. SSOE Group (Toledo, Ohio) is providing engineering on the project, which is planned for completion in third-quarter 2021. For more information, see Industrial Info's project report. Projects in the semiconductors and computers sector include a grassroot printed circuit board manufacturing plant by East West Manufacturing Enterprises (Atlanta, Georgia) in Round Rock, on the northern outskirts of Austin. The 43,000-square-foot building will house production and supporting equipment to manufacture printed circuit board assemblies, custom cables, and other electronic and mechanical assemblies. Construction is expected to be completed in the summer. For more information, see Industrial Info's project report.
In Fort Worth, Linear Labs Incorporated (Fort Worth) is gearing up for a renovation project for an electric motor manufacturing plant. The 500,000-square-foot facility was formerly used for airplane maintenance, and the project entails installing production and supporting equipment to provide manufacturing and research and development capability for advanced electric motors used in fields such as electric vehicles, HVAC and robotics. The $214 million project is expected to be completed in the first quarter of 2022. For more information, see Industrial Info's project report.
