SEQ I-10 & FM 1442, Orange, TX 77630

The subject is located at the junction of I-10 and FM 1442 in Orange County, TX less than 10 miles from the deep-water ports of Port Orange and Port Arthur. The I-10 corridor from Houston to Orange has long been a hub for the Gulf Coast Energy Industry.

The communities of Orange and Bridge City are home to refining, chemical and petrochemical manufacturing facilities that play a critical role in the regional economy including a soon-to-be completed plant by Chevron Phillips Chemical. These facilities provide a wide range of employment opportunities to the skilled labor force that calls the Texas Gulf Coast home. They also make a significant contribution to the local economy through increased tax revenue and community development initiatives.

The onshoring trend that began in the wake of COVID-19 continues unabated southeast Texas as companies are attracted to the area’s skilled labor force, business-friendly environment, proximity to raw materials and robust infrastructure. This site is positioned to benefit from the trend thanks to its access to I-10, proximity to rail and multiple deep-water ports. Even more, the site has heavy power, multiple natural gas lines as well as a CO2 pipeline onsite.
