Why Schertz Is Building
Schertz has become one of Texas' most active logistics markets. GRAMS builds the warehouses, yards, retail shells, and finish-outs that a distribution hub demands, with one accountable team from estimate to closeout.
Since 2021, Amazon, UPS, FedEx, Sysco, and Caterpillar have each located or expanded in Schertz, investing more than half a billion dollars and building over three million square feet. With more than 413,000 workers within 15 miles and direct access to both I-35 and I-10, the city has become the distribution address for the San Antonio–Austin corridor.
The pipeline is still full. EastGroup Properties operates six buildings at Tri-County Crossing on Lookout Road and has eight more warehouse-distribution buildings planned along I-35, and Schertz Station, a 250,000-square-foot Home Depot–anchored center, is the city's first major retail development in two decades.
This is the kind of work GRAMS was built for: pre-engineered and red-iron structures with heavy-duty slabs and truck courts, site concrete and paving, and the office and break-room finish-outs that turn a shell into a working facility. Schertz sits minutes from our San Antonio base, and we know its three-county footprint well.

How We Work In Schertz
Every market has its own permitting path, its own logistics, and its own pace. We plan for Schertz's before the first estimate goes out.
Permitting & Codes
Schertz's Inspection Division runs submittals, payments, and inspection scheduling through the CityView online portal, and the city currently enforces the 2018 International Codes with the state-mandated 2015 IECC. Because Schertz spans Guadalupe, Bexar, and Comal counties, we confirm the jurisdiction and any county-level requirements for a parcel before design is finalized.
Site Logistics
Industrial sites along Lookout Road, FM 3009, and the I-35 frontage move a lot of trucks even before a project opens. We sequence steel deliveries, concrete pours, and paving to keep neighboring operations flowing, and we plan crane picks and laydown around existing utility easements and detention.
Market Awareness
We watch the Schertz Economic Development Corporation's infrastructure commitments, such as the sewer extensions supporting the EastGroup, Boomerang, and Lovett developments, because utility timing drives site schedules. Proximity to JBSA-Randolph also brings Air Installation Compatible Use Zone considerations that we flag during preconstruction.
FAQ

Does GRAMS handle projects near JBSA-Randolph?
Yes. Schertz is one of the communities supporting Randolph's AICUZ program. We identify any height, noise, or land-use considerations early so they are addressed in design rather than during review.
