Insights

The designation of RailPort Logistics Mobile as a Platinum CSX Select Site represents a strategic expansion of CSX's logistics capabilities. The 500+ acre development, with $15 million planned infrastructure investment by Scannell Properties, strengthens CSX's competitive position in a key growth market. Historical data shows Select Sites have attracted investments projected at $17.7 billion and created nearly 14,000 jobs since 2012.

The Mobile location offers significant strategic advantages: proximity to the Port of Mobile, access to Interstate 10 and integration with CSX's rail network. The development's planned nine industrial buildings, with four having direct rail service, positions CSX to capitalize on the region's industrial growth and increased port activity. This infrastructure investment aligns with broader economic trends showing increased demand for multimodal logistics facilities.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla., Oct. 30, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- CSX (NASDAQ: CSX) today announced that the 500+ acre RailPort Logistics Mobile in Mobile, Alabama, has been designated as a Platinum CSX Select Site.

Select Sites are development-ready properties along the CSX network where standard land use considerations and comprehensive due diligence items have been previously addressed. These properties can meet the needs of a wide variety of manufacturers, significantly reducing the time required to construct industrial facilities and ultimately bringing products to market.

Mobile is a hotspot for industrial growth with the recent expansions at the Port of Mobile. The 500+ acre RailPort Logistics Mobile park is ripe with opportunities for industrial users who need to harness the benefits of rail and proximity to the port. The property is less than three miles from two separate interchanges on Interstate 10.

In the initial phase of the development, Scannell Properties will focus on approximately 390 acres. Approximately 149 acres are to be set aside for conservation and the remainder is planned for nine industrial buildings, at least four of which will have rail service by CSX. Further, Scannell Properties has plans to invest approximately $15 million for transportation infrastructure upgrades that will also benefit the neighboring Todd Acres Industrial Park.

CSX introduced the Select Site program in 2012 to better serve new and existing customers on its network and those of its short line partners. CSX works with Austin Consulting, a nationally known site-selection consulting firm, to screen candidate sites and assist communities with the application and certification process.

To receive the Platinum CSX Select Site designation, the location must meet a rigorous list of criteria, including infrastructure and utility availability, environmental reviews, appropriate zoning and entitlement, air quality permitting, rail serviceability, proximity to highways or interstates, and other attributes.

Since their roll out in 2012, Select Sites have attracted dozens of manufacturers, with capital investments projected to reach $17.7 billion and realize nearly 14,000 new jobs.

The RailPort Logistics Mobile site is now the fourth site in Alabama to have received the Platinum CSX Select Site designation since 2012. This property is one of 28 properties across CSX’s service territory to have met this rigorous site selection criteria over the program’s history.
