A major industrial project in Mission, Texas, is poised to reshape the region’s economic landscape. Killam Development has officially launched the Sharyland Business Park. This 175-acre development is expected to become a regional center for manufacturing, logistics, distribution, cold storage, and cross-border commerce, according to a report by Roberto Hugo González for Texas Border Business.
Local leaders, business partners, and economic developers gathered on December 10, 2025, for a ribbon-cutting ceremony at the intersection of Anzalduas Highway and Anzalduas Drive, supported by the Mission Economic Development Corporation (EDC) and the Greater Mission Chamber of Commerce.
Mission Mayor Norie Garza González called the opening “a dream come true,” emphasizing how the project will create long-term opportunities for residents and strengthen the city’s economic future. Mission EDC CEO Teclo Garcia described the event as a “momentous occasion,” noting that the broader development corridor includes thousands of acres for future homes and commercial investments.
Representatives from neighboring McAllen, including McAllen EDC COO Ralph Garcia, emphasized the site’s strategic location near the Anzalduas International Bridge, which offers significant advantages for manufacturers and logistics users who rely on fast and secure cross-border movement.
Killam Development President and CEO Cliff Killam outlined the scope of the project:
- $8 million invested in infrastructure
- Approximately 2.5 million square feet of potential industrial property
- An estimated $275 million in total investment
- 15 development lots ranging from four to 25 acres
- Strong early market interest with several lots already under contract
Killam emphasized the region’s growing appeal for industrial users, citing connectivity to Interstate 2, proximity to the McAllen International Airport, and access to major transportation corridors. He also noted that a larger 1,000-acre surrounding area is transforming into one of the most promising new hubs for trade, innovation, and economic growth in the United States.
The project, Killam added, is only possible because of strong public–private collaboration. He thanked the Mission City leadership, local and regional economic development partners, and Congressman Henry Cuellar for their support in securing resources and advancing large-scale development. Killam said the company has already invested roughly $75 million in Mission and is “just getting started.”
The ribbon cutting marks a significant milestone for Mission and the broader Rio Grande Valley, signifying long-term confidence in the region’s ability to attract industry and support large-scale logistics and manufacturing operations.
