Brownsville is undergoing a transformative period of economic growth driven by major investments in technology, energy, and aerospace. Since SpaceX established its Starbase headquarters in 2019, and incorporated as a city in 2025, now spanning 350 acres just 17 miles from the subject property and employing over 3,400 full-time workers, the region has attracted several large-scale projects. These include the Rio Grande LNG facility, with a projected 27 million tonnes of annual capacity, a separate LNG export facility at the port developed by Texas LNG LLC, and the Element Fuels greenfield refinery, the largest new US refinery in half a century. These projects are poised to significantly boost the local economy, supporting demand for new residential and industrial development. Additionally, SpaceX is ramping up activities at Starbase, with 170 Falcon rocket launches planned for 2025. Exemplifying further infrastructure growth, the US General Services Administration (GSA) announced in February 2022 that the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law has committed $100 million to facilitate the modernization of the Brownsville/Gateway Land Port of Entry, strengthening supply chains and enhancing security and trade throughout the region. The area also draws tourists year-round to attractions such as the Palo Alto Battlefield Historic Park, the beaches of South Padre Island, and SpaceX launches.

Brownsville is the county seat of Cameron County and serves as the major manufacturing center of the Rio Grande Valley. Today, Brownsville is the largest city in the Rio Grande Valley, with a population of approximately 185,000 and an area of nearly 150 square miles. With an assessed valuation of more than $7.5 billion, the city has nearly quadrupled its wealth in the past 15 years thanks to increased tourism and incentives for new employers to bring work to the area. The city is home to a large, skilled workforce driven by the University of Texas Rio Grande Valley (UTRGV), with 11,500 undergraduate students and more than 120 undergraduate, graduate, and doctorate programs. The Greater Brownsville Area also offers strong fundamentals supporting the development of new single-family residences, as home prices have risen 2.1% year-over-year to exceed $270,000, and single-unit homes comprise 76% of local inventory.
