The Property’s location is strategic for a plasma center due to its position equi-distant to the Americas International Bridge (2.1 million pedestrian crossings in 2023 and 2.3 million in 2024) and the Juarez-Lincoln International Bridge (4.8 million vehicular crossings anticipated in 2024). This plasma center is also across the street from San Augustin Plaza, a historic community gathering space in Laredo. Approximately 8%-10% of plasma collected in the US originates from border Plasma Donation Centers similar to this one. This concentration accounts for around $2 billion of the $20 billion US Plasma industry, highlighting the significance of the select plasma centers along the US/Mexico border.
ABO Plasma is renovating the building with a $4.5 million dollar investment, dedicating the first floor (12,500 sf) to plasma donations, and the second floor to employee offices, rest areas, and corporate training. Once complete, ABO will sign a new 10- year NNN lease.
