Coca-Cola Southwest Beverages Completes $42M San Antonio Expansion
The 170,000-SF expansion adds a second production line and warehouse capacity. A separate state filing covers one component of the wider investment.
Arca Continental Coca-Cola Southwest Beverages has marked completion of a $42 million expansion at its East San Antonio bottling operation. The September 25 event follows delivery of approximately 170,000 square feet, a second production line and expanded warehousing.
The investment is expected to add about 80 jobs. For construction readers, this is a completed manufacturing expansion with a useful project-record trail, rather than an announcement of a future groundbreaking.

The Program and the Filed Package
A state record describes a 140,000-SF warehouse and two-story dock-office component at One Coca-Cola Place, estimated at $15 million. LJC is the design firm for that registered scope.
The filing is narrower than the reported $42 million program. Its cost and area should not be added to the overall figures or substituted for them. The reviewed records do not provide a full allocation between buildings, production equipment and related infrastructure.
Production and Logistics
A second line expands the plant’s production capability, while additional warehousing supports storage and distribution. The dock-office component shows how logistics and staff facilities also form part of delivery.
Process services, electrical systems, controls and equipment integration are relevant disciplines at a bottling operation. The available records do not name the general contractor for the overall expansion or identify each trade contractor.
A Completed Facility, With Team Details Still to Establish
The state filing shows inspection complete. The September event provides a later program-completion milestone, while the registration preserves details of one building component.
A confirmed general contractor and production-line delivery team would add value to the project record. LJC should be associated with the filed component, without extending that appointment to unverified scopes.
