Lineage, Inc., the world’s largest global temperature-controlled warehouse REIT, broke ground recently on its newest automated cold storage facility in the Dallas Metroplex.

The project is part of Lineage’s previous announcement to design, build and operate two next-generation cold storage warehouses that expand automation capabilities in key U.S. markets for a long-time customer.

Lineage’s facility is strategically located in Hutchins, Texas, to support the needs of food and beverage producers, retailers and distributors.

With its central position in the continental U.S. and combination of major highways, airports and rail lines, the Dallas area can reach a significant majority of the U.S. population and international markets like Mexico quickly and efficiently.  

“Dallas has long been a key market for Lineage, serving as a critical connecting point between food producers and the global food supply chain,” said Tim Smith, chief commercial officer of Lineage. “The groundbreaking of our newest automated facility underscores our commitment to improving and expanding capabilities for our customers, utilizing advanced technologies to reimagine how the cold chain operates and feeds the world.”

The facility is located in Dallas County’s Prime Pointe Park, which sits adjacent to Union Pacific Railroad’s Dallas Intermodal Terminal. 

“We’re excited to welcome Lineage, a long-time partner of Union Pacific, to Prime Pointe, one of our premier Focus Sites,” said Kenny Rocker, Union Pacific Railroad executive vice president - marketing and sales. “Focus Sites like this make it easier and faster for businesses to connect to our 23-state network and tap into the efficiencies of rail.”

The facility is expected to begin operating in late 2027 and will feature advanced automation including Lineage’s proprietary LinOS warehouse execution system. 

The project builds on Lineage’s existing footprint in Texas, where the company operates 18 facilities that offer temperature-controlled warehousing, blast freezing, case picking, USDA and FDA inspections, integrated transportation solutions and more.
