WAFRA Acquires Liberty Development Partners and Invests in Gulf Inland Logistics Park and CMC Railroad
On October 1, 2026, Wafra Inc., a New York-based alternative investment firm, announced that its funds have invested into Liberty Development Partners (Liberty), as well as its key assets: the Gulf Inland Logistics Park in Texas and CMC Railroad. This strategic move aims to accelerate development at Gulf Inland while supporting broader rail-served infrastructure growth through Liberty. Gulf Inland is a 3,900-acre industrial site northeast of Houston with access to major freight networks via Union Pacific and BNSF Railway through the CMC Railroad. Since acquiring it in 2022, Liberty has expanded its footprint from approximately 1,150 acres and enhanced infrastructure for road, rail, and utilities. Wafra's investment is expected to support continued development at Gulf Inland as well as future opportunities across the Gulf Coast region. The partnership also includes an expansion of CMC Railroad’s storage capacity by around 1,000 additional railcars, set to be operational by year-end.
