America's Agricultural Artery
Runs Cold Through New Orleans.
The Mississippi River corridor handles 60% of all United States agricultural exports — soybeans, corn, cotton, and an expanding array of temperature-sensitive perishables. Yet the Gulf Coast's cold storage infrastructure consists almost entirely of obsolete, undersized warehouses built decades before modern cold chain standards.
The ColdPort New Orleans SPV delivers a modern 125,000 SF blast-freeze facility with Class-I rail connectivity, solar-microgrid energy, and confirmed interest from Colombian flower growers seeking Gulf Coast distribution capacity. LOI stage with active site visits underway.
River-to-Cold-Store. Always Frozen.
From vessel to blast freeze without touching the ambient air.
Engineered for the Gulf's
Agricultural Cold Chain
Class-I Rail Connection
Direct Class-I rail access from the Port of New Orleans, enabling intermodal cold-chain movement of agricultural products from the Mississippi corridor without break-chain trucking.
Blast Freeze Tunnels
Continuous-flow pull-down tunnels capable of freezing produce and seafood from +40°F to −10°F in under 90 minutes — preserving quality of time-sensitive Gulf agricultural exports.
Solar / Microgrid Energy
On-site solar array and battery microgrid providing 40% energy offset. Qualifies for IRA clean energy tax credits and ESG mandates from institutional grocery and pharma tenants.
Multi-Compressor Refrigeration
Redundant multi-compressor NH3 refrigeration system ensures 99.95% uptime. Designed for the extreme summer heat of the Gulf Coast without efficiency degradation.
Floral & Produce Handling
Dedicated Colombian flower grower intake bays with ethylene-scrubbed chambers. Confirmed interest from regional South American flower distributors for long-term lease commitments.
Port of New Orleans Integration
Mississippi River proximity enables direct container-to-cold-store throughput. 60% of all US agricultural exports transit this corridor each year.
