Evergen Equity Acquires Three-Building Laredo Infill Industrial Portfolio to Expand Upon U.S. Nearshoring Strategy

via Business Wire

Capitalizing on U.S. nearshoring opportunities fueled by demand for U.S. – Mexico cross-border logistics, Austin-based Evergen Equity has acquired a strategically located, three-building industrial portfolio in Laredo, Texas—one of North America’s most vital trade corridors. The acquisition strengthens Evergen’s footprint in a market that plays a critical role in U.S. – Mexico commerce and supports manufacturers reshoring operations to North America. Terms of the transaction are not disclosed.

The well-maintained infill portfolio includes three fully-leased Class B industrial assets totaling 362,000 square feet on 20.3 total acres. Strategically located at the nexus of I-35 and I-69—at 810 Nafta Boulevard, 8411 Gavin Road, and 8414 El Gato Road—the exceptionally functional properties are just four minutes from the World Trade International Bridge, a key commercial crossing point. The space is mission-critical for the tenants, which have occupied the buildings since 2006 and 2008, respectively, underscoring the long-term value and operational importance of the portfolio.

Founded in 2021 by Troy Marcus, Evergen Equity acquires and manages a diversified portfolio of industrial, multifamily, retail, and large land holdings for ultra-high net worth family offices. The firm’s portfolio spans more than $700 million in assets from the Port of Los Angeles to the Port of Savannah, including critical industrial holdings along the U.S. – Mexico border, driven by a firm belief that nearshoring will continue to generate strong, long-term returns in these strategically vital trade corridors. In addition to this, the firm has significant industrial holdings along the I-35 Corridor, including San Antonio, Austin, and Dallas-Fort Worth.

“Nearshoring is rapidly reshaping supply chains, and the advantage belongs to those who think strategically and act swiftly and decisively,” said Troy Marcus, president and CEO of Evergen Equity. “While many institutional investors pulled back at the first sign of volatility, we added 14 industrial buildings and more than 100 acres of industrial outdoor storage in the past 18 months, making Evergen one of the most active acquirers in the region. Our local insight and agility allow us to serve our Evergen Families and tenants in ways larger, risk-averse firms simply aren’t built to deliver. This Laredo transaction reflects our commitment to long-term value creation in this critical market. We are deeply grateful to everyone who played a role in bringing this transaction to fruition.”

Despite economic uncertainties, continued corporate investment in Mexico underscores the booming nearshoring theme. Port Laredo is the most valuable port in the United States, valued at $29.2 billion in 2024. In 2023, it handled $320 billion in trade and accounts for 29% of all trade between the U.S. and Mexico—America’s largest trading partner. The port processed more than 3 million truck crossings in 2024, a 28% increase since 2019. A key driver of Laredo’s growth is its proximity to Monterrey, one of Mexico’s largest and fastest-growing manufacturing hubs and the destination for 72% of the country’s nearshoring activity. Recent corporate investments reinforce this trend. In April 2025, LEGO announced a $508 million expansion of its Nuevo León facility, and in 2024, Volvo Group unveiled plans for a $700 million truck plant in Monterrey. Other automakers—including Toyota, Tesla, General Motors, BMW, and Hyundai—have also ramped up operations in Mexico. With 85% of Mexico’s exports bound for the U.S., much of that trade flows directly through Laredo.

“We pride ourselves on being disciplined yet agile investors, acting as the best fiduciary for the family offices we serve and partnering their evergreen capital with exceptional generational real estate,” Marcus said. “Evergen Families appreciate our white-glove and bespoke offering, based on deep trust, due diligence, and strategic alignment, established by investing an extraordinary amount of time with each family we serve to understand their long-term objectives and how real estate fits into the bigger picture.”
