Project Nuevo

Project Nuevo is a new construction development at 9220 Socorro Logistics Lane in Socorro, Texas, comprising 390,415 square feet of interior build-out. The scope of work filed with the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation (TDLR) specifies the construction of demising walls to accommodate future phased tenant build-outs. This massive industrial facility is developed by Harvey Cleary Builders, with Powers Brown Architecture serving as the design firm of record.

The project carries an estimated cost of $3,855,000. This figure places the project in the top quarter of estimated costs for new construction filings in El Paso County, which has a median estimated cost of $800,000. However, the computed cost of $10 per square foot is significantly below the county median of $111 per square foot. The scheduled build window of 275 days is longer than the county median of 214 days for similar new construction projects.

TDLR completed the plan review process in April 2025. Construction was scheduled to begin in May 2025, with a completion date on the filing set for January 2026. Although that date has passed, TDLR has not yet recorded a final inspection. Therefore, the current state of the site is not confirmed in the public record. The project remains privately funded and located on private land for private use.
