Lineage breaks ground on new automated facility to expand cold storage capabilities in Dallas

Lineage recently broke ground on its newest automated cold storage facility in the Dallas Metroplex. The company, which is the world’s largest global temperature-controlled warehouse real estate investment trust, operates facilities that provide warehousing, blast freezing, case picking, inspections, and integrated transportation solutions.

The company is expanding its automation capabilities in key U.S. markets in addition to building two next-generation cold storage warehouses for a long-time customer. The new facility is located in Hutchins, Texas, within Dallas County’s Prime Pointe Park, adjacent to Union Pacific Railroad’s Dallas Intermodal Terminal. Its central location provides quick access to a key portion of the U.S. population and international markets, such as Mexico.

The facility is expected to begin operations in late 2027 and will feature Lineage’s proprietary LinOS warehouse execution system. This project builds on the company’s existing footprint in Texas, where it operates 18 facilities offering temperature-controlled warehousing and related services.

“Dallas has long been a key market for Lineage, serving as a critical connecting point between food producers and the global food supply chain,” Tim Smith, CCO of Lineage, said. “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.”
