​Transwestern's San Antonio office today announced it completed a new seven year 101,461 square foot industrial lease for Bergstrom Climate Systems, L.L.C at East Kelly Railport, located within Port San Antonio at 202 Tayman Street.  The property owner is Dexus San Antonio Industrial, L.P. 

Based in Rockford, Illinois, Bergstrom designs and manufactures HVAC systems for trucks, buses, military and agricultural vehicles. The company has selected San Antonio as the site of its newest manufacturing center.

"After surveying multiple markets, Bergstrom chose San Antonio for its favorable business climate and proximity to existing customers in Texas and Mexico. Bergstrom will initially hire approximately 75 employees and up to 175 employees within two or three years.  We were able to secure space and structure a lease that addressed current requirements and future expansion." says Scott Wolff, broker associate of Transwestern.  “Many deals of this type and size are related to the Eagle Ford Shale boom in South Texas. This deal is a good reminder that there are several opportunities of this type worth pursuing outside of the Eagle Ford Shale,” says Wolff. 

Bergstrom will commence operations in the 3rd quarter of 2012. The new San Antonio plant will represent Bergstrom’s fourth North American location, with other plants located across the globe.

Wolff represented the tenant in the transaction. Rob Burlingame of CBRE represented the owner.
