The Context
Cross-border trade is no longer only volume moving north. Dohler’s $64 million plant and an $8.8 million Otay Mesa industrial sale show manufacturers and landlords repricing the border as durable infrastructure rather than a temporary tariff hedge.
The Takeaway
- Cross-border trade at $87 billion a month is a permanent supply base, not a seasonal detour.
- Industrial space near Otay Mesa is being bid up well before new capacity gets announced.
- Lock in border warehousing now, because that $8.8 million comparable resets your next lease.
