Ridgeline Property Group to Develop a 558,600 SF Distribution Center Project in Lebanon, Tennessee

Park 840 East offers prime location near I-840 in East submarket

Nashville, TN, September 18, 2017 – Ridgeline Property Group (RPG), in partnership with USAA Real Estate Company (USAA RealCo), announced today that it will develop a Class A, 558,600-square-foot distribution/logistics facility – Park 840 East Building 100. RPG will develop the project on a 29-acre site located at the southeast corner of Central Pike and I-840 in Lebanon, Tennessee, east of Nashville.

RPG and USAA RealCo have retained CBRE’s Steve Preston and Hayes McWilliams to market and lease the property. Construction will begin in 4Q 2017 and completion is scheduled for 2Q 2018.

“We’re excited to deliver a project in the Nashville industrial market that will offer the most modern, efficient space for large-scale distribution operations,” said Greg Thurman, CEO of RPG. ”Nashville is experiencing extremely strong demand but there is limited supply of high-quality space. This project will offer the features distributors are looking for today, including high ceilings, a cross-dock configuration and abundant trailer parking.”

Park 840 East provides convenient access to I-840 and Nashville’s extensive interstate system that connects distributors to major markets across the Southeast and Midwest.

“The Southeast U.S. has the highest population growth in the nation and Nashville is no exception. With the Nashville MSA population approaching 2 million people, that distribution market has continued to expand,” said Steve Preston, Senior Vice President at CBRE. “In addition, Nashville’s connectivity to a large segment of the U.S. population and its location on the eastern edge of the Central time zone enables it to accommodate same-day and next-day deliveries – a feature that has become increasingly important to online customers and e-tailers.”

Park 840 East Building 100 will feature concrete-tilt panel construction, 36-foot clear height, 56-foot by 50-foot column spacing, 62.5-foot speed bays, 96 dock doors and 113 trailer stalls.

Ridgeline Property Group to Develop 1.46 MSF Logistics Campus at Former Kraft Facility Site

92-acre infill site will become Park 100 Logistics Center

Allentown, PA, March 6, 2017 – Responding to continuing strong demand for Class A bulk warehouse space in the Lehigh Valley industrial market, Ridgeline Property Group (RPG) will redevelop the former Kraft facility site at 7352 Industrial Boulevard into a Class A, rail-accessible logistics campus. RPG has acquired the 92-acre site, a preeminent location in Lehigh Valley, and will build two Class A distribution facilities totaling up to 1.46 million square feet.

The project, known as Park 100 Logistics Center, will be built on the 92-acre site approximately one mile from the Route 100/I-78 Interchange.

Demolition of the Kraft facility has commenced. The initial phase of Park 100 Logistics Center, a 730,080-square-foot Class A distribution facility, is anticipated to be completed in Q1 2018. Jake Terkanian, Joe McDermott and Vincent Ranalli of CBRE’s Philadelphia office have been selected to market the property for lease or build-to-suit.

“We are excited to continue to expand the RPG platform nationally, and particularly in Central Pennsylvania and Lehigh Valley,” said Greg Thurman, RPG’s CEO. “This represents a tremendous opportunity for us to develop this prime infill site and create a state-of-the-art logistics campus benefitting from a strategic location with excellent highway and rail access.”

Chris Ciliberti, Partner and head of RPG’s Northeast operations, added: “With historic levels of absorption combined with limited competitive supply, Park 100 Logistics Center is well positioned to capitalize on strong market fundamentals in Lehigh Valley.”

Park 100 Logistics Center’s location approximately one mile from the Route 100/I-78 interchange provides immediate access to strategic transportation routes serving the Northeast region. Additionally, the large and well-trained workforce within a 30-minute commute creates a strong incentive for companies to operate in this location. The overall vacancy rate for Class A product in Lehigh Valley is just below 4 percent, placing supply at shortage levels, while absorption has remained at historically high levels.

Park 100 Logistics Center, a rail-accessible, 1.46 million-square-foot, two-building logistics campus, will feature 36-foot clear heights, a cross-docked loading configuration, 4 drive-in doors per building, highly efficient 56-foot by 50-foot column spacing, 70-foot speed bays, early suppression fast response (ESFR) fire sprinklers, and ample parking with 982 auto parking spaces and 376 trailer storage stalls.

Ridgeline Property Group Enters Memphis Industrial Market to Develop I-269 Logistics Center in Marshall County, Miss.

Atlanta-based developer plans to build up to 3.5 million square feet of prime industrial space on 328-acre site.

Memphis, TN, July 25, 2016 – Entering the Memphis industrial market to meet the strong demand for bulk distribution space, Atlanta-based Ridgeline Property Group (RPG) announced today it will develop I-269 Logistics Center, a logistics park in Marshall County, Miss., that will feature up to 3.5 million square feet of Class A distribution and industrial space.

RPG has formed a joint venture with the owner of the 328-acre site, Mississippi Land Holdings, LLC, a special purpose vehicle owned by the CK Pearl family of funds and managed by Crestline-Kirchner, L.P., to develop the logistics park, which occupies a prime location at the intersection of Goodman Road and the southeast corner of the new I-269 beltway. Geringer Capital initially identified and secured the site prior to the announcement of the Interstate expansion and in its position as manager brought RPG to the project.

Dave Curran and Matt Weathersby of Cushman & Wakefield/Commercial Advisors will market the property for lease.

“We’re extremely pleased to form a joint venture to develop this prime site on Goodman Road at the southeast corner of I-269, a new section of the Memphis loop highway that will provide excellent access to I-55 into Memphis and to I-40 and I-22 into large consumer markets to the east and west,” said Greg Thurman, CEO of Ridgeline Property Group.

Thurman added: “Memphis, one of the strongest industrial markets in the U.S., is experiencing extremely strong demand for Class A industrial space, but bulk space is currently in very short supply. I-269 Logistics Center will answer this need, providing e-commerce and other operators the modern, efficient distribution space they require.”

The Memphis market has been surging, registering a record 8 million square feet of absorption in 2015 and 1.7 million square feet of absorption in the first quarter of 2016, according to the 1Q 2016 Memphis Industrial Snapshot from Cushman & Wakefield/Commercial Advisors. At the same time, there are only three existing options in the market for users seeking 400,000 square feet or higher.

Recent large leases signed in the Memphis market include a 1.5 million square foot build-to-suit for Tire & Battery Corp. in the Marshall/Fayette submarket and a 708,532 square foot lease for Nike in the Southeast submarket.

A sample of RPG’s projects currently under development across the U.S. include Crossroads Logistics Center (398,250 SF) in Jonestown, Pa.; Eagle Park 20/35 (453,600 SF) in South Dallas; Tracy Pescadero Distribution Center (381,600 SF) in Tracy, Calif.; and Crest Hill Industrial Park (438,150 SF) in Chicago.

Ridgeline Property Group Breaks Ground on 400,000 SF Crossroads Logistics Center in Jonestown, PA

Jonestown, PA., May 12, 2016 – Responding to continuing Class A bulk warehouse space demand in the healthy Central Pennsylvania industrial market, Ridgeline Property Group (RPG) has broken ground on a 398,250-square-foot industrial speculative building in Jonestown, Pa. American Realty Advisors and RPG have created a joint venture to develop Crossroads Logistics Center, which will be built on a 35-acre site providing immediate access to Interstate 81.

Crossroads Logistics Center is anticipated to be completed in December 2016. Jake Terkanian, Joe McDermott and Vince Ranalli of CBRE’s Philadelphia office have been selected to market the property for lease.

“With strong absorption rates combined with limited competitive supply, this market is primed for the modern, efficient, cross-docked Class A distribution space that Crossroads Logistics Center will provide,” said Chris Ciliberti, Partner of Ridgeline Property Group’s northeast operations.

Greg Thurman, RPG’s CEO added, “This is RPG’s second project in Pennsylvania, and we are excited to continue to expand the RPG platform nationally, and particularly in the Central Pennsylvania market.”

Crossroads Logistics Center’s strategic location at the confluence of I-81 and I-78 provides excellent access throughout the Northeast region. Located approximately 20 miles northeast of Harrisburg, the large and well-trained workforce within a 30-minute commute creates a strong incentive for companies to operate in this location. The overall vacancy rate for Class A product in Central Pennsylvania is just above 4 percent, placing supply at shortage levels, and absorption has remained strong.

“We’re pleased to partner with a best-in-class developer, Ridgeline Property Group, on this Class A industrial building in this crucial distribution market. RPG has a successful track record developing bulk distribution space across the country, and we look forward to partnering with them on Crossroads Logistics Center to provide the Central Pennsylvania market with much-needed Class A distribution space,” said Martha Shelley, Senior Portfolio Manager at American Realty Advisors.

Located on MSC Drive in Jonestown, Pa., Crossroads Logistics Center is just over three quarters of a mile from I-81, and just over two miles from the I-81/I-78 Interchange, two major north-south and east-west routes, respectively, that connect the project to Philadelphia, Washington, D.C., Baltimore, New York and other important industrial markets. In addition, the location offers distributors and manufacturers convenient access to three major intermodal rail stations, as well as FedEx and UPS distribution hubs. “The investment in a new ground up, Class A, distribution facility in this critical Central Pennsylvania location is a strategic investment for American and is anticipated to provide favorable risk-adjusted returns to our investors,” added Shelley.

The 398,250-square-foot distribution facility is expandable to 450,000 square feet, and will feature 36-foot clear heights, 85 dock doors in a cross-docked configuration, four drive-in doors, highly efficient 55-foot by 56-foot column spacing, early suppression fast response (ESFR) fire sprinklers and high-capacity parking, including 206 auto spaces and 116 trailer storage stalls. Additional parking and trailer storage stalls can be made available. The project has received the LERTA (Local Economic Revitalization Tax Assistance) Tax Abatement at the township level, with County and School District approval expected in mid-May 2016.

Ridgeline Property Group to Develop 453,600-Square-Foot Distribution Center in South Dallas

RPG and capital partner Stockbridge Capital Group purchase 29.5-acre parcel that will be the site of Eagle Park 20\35 distribution center

Dallas, April 29, 2015 – Ridgeline Property Group (RPG) and its capital partner Stockbridge Capital Group have purchased a 29.5-acre parcel in the South Dallas industrial submarket that will be the site of a 453,600-square-foot, state-of-the-art distribution facility. Eagle Park 20\35, named for its strategic location at the junction of Interstates 20 and 35, will be under construction in June and is scheduled to be completed in first-quarter 2016.

RPG and Stockbridge Capital Group purchased the 29.5-acre site, located within Eagle Business and Industrial Park, from Danieldale/35E No. 2 Ltd. The purchase price was not disclosed. Jones Lang LaSalle’s Executive Vice President Kurt Griffin and Senior Vice President Nathan Orbin represented the buyer and seller in the transaction and have been selected to market Eagle Park 20\35 for lease.

“With the strategic location providing immediate access to I-20 and I-35 and the facility’s state-of-the-art design features, Eagle Park 20\35 will be ideally suited to meet the requirements of modern distribution operations,” said Greg Thurman, CEO of Ridgeline Property Group. “The pace of construction activity in South Dallas has picked up significantly, and many speculative projects have enjoyed successful pre-leasing efforts. However, much of the current construction is comprised of build-to-suit projects of 650,000 square feet and higher. Eagle Park 20\35 will offer design flexibility enabling it to accommodate a single tenant or multiple tenants of 150,000 square feet and higher.”

Added JLL’s Nathan Orbin: “The South Dallas submarket, and the location of Eagle Park 20\35 in particular, offers outstanding logistical advantages. JLL is committed not only to the success of this project, but of the entire area. JLL has been very active in the South Dallas submarket and we’ve been fortunate to be involved in several high-profile transactions. We look forward to leveraging our marketing platform and relationships to lease this Class A industrial property.”

Located on Centre Park Drive, Eagle Park 20\35 will feature 32-foot clear heights, early suppression fast response (ESFR) fire sprinklers, 185-foot dual truck courts and abundant trailer storage. The 400-acre Eagle Business and Industrial Park is home to numerous high-profile tenants, including Solar Turbines (a Caterpillar company), Kohl’s, Sam’s Club/Wal-Mart Stores and Kauffman Tire. The business park also offers access to exclusive air travel from Dallas Executive Airport, located less than 10 minutes away.

“Stockbridge is excited to partner with Ridgeline Property Group and its experienced development team on this Class A distribution center located in one of the premier industrial submarkets of Dallas,” said Dan Weaver, Managing Director at Stockbridge. “The strengthening of the economy continues to heighten demand for industrial space, and Eagle Park 20\35 will provide the state-of-the-art features and amenities that distributors are seeking today.”

RPG’s ongoing projects also include Susquehanna Logistics Center, a 423,000-square-foot distribution facility in York Pa.; and McDonough Commerce Center, a 714,560-square-foot distribution facility located in the South Atlanta submarket.

Ridgeline Property Group to Develop 423,300 Square Foot Susquehanna Logistics Center in York, PA

York, PA, March 25, 2015 – Responding to the shortage of Class A bulk warehouse space in the surging Central Pennsylvania industrial market, Ridgeline Property Group (RPG) today announced it will develop a 423,300-square-foot industrial speculative building in York, Pa. Cabot Properties Inc. will be RPG’s capital partner for Susquehanna Logistics Center, which will be built on a 51-acre site providing immediate access to Interstate 83.

Construction will begin in late March on Susquehanna Logistics Center and will be completed in December 2015. Patrick McBride and Gerry Blinebury of Cushman & Wakefield’s Harrisburg, Pa., office have been selected to market the property for lease.

“With strong absorption rates combined with the extremely limited supply currently available, this market is primed for the modern and efficient Class A distribution space that Susquehanna Logistics Center will provide,” said Greg Thurman, CEO of Ridgeline Property Group.

He added: “There is virtually no Class A space between 200,000 and 400,000 square feet available in Central Pennsylvania, and this is the only zoned and entitled industrial site between Harrisburg and Baltimore that can bring a Class A project to market in the near term. The timing couldn’t be better for us to team with our long-term partner Cabot Properties on this distribution building.”

York County’s strategic location between Baltimore and Harrisburg, its healthy supply and demand fundamentals, and a strong labor pool combine to make the submarket a key logistics hub. The overall vacancy rate for Class A product in York County has dipped below 4 percent, placing supply at shortage levels, and absorption has reached near record levels.

The large and well-trained workforce within a 30-minute commute and the comprehensive training and educational programs offered by the county and its educational institutions provide further incentive for companies to set up operations in the submarket.

“We’re pleased to partner with a best-in-class developer, Ridgeline Property Group, on this Class A industrial building to meet the growing demand for high-quality industrial space in this crucial distribution market. RPG has a successful track record developing bulk distribution space across the country, and we look forward to partnering with them on Susquehanna Logistics Center to provide the Central Pennsylvania market with much-needed Class A distribution space,” said Patrick V. Ryan, Executive Vice President of Investments at Cabot Properties.

Located on Second Amendment Drive in York, Pa., the Susquehanna Logistics Center site is just over a half mile from the Exit 8 interchange of I-83 and minutes from US Route 30, two major north-south and east-west routes, respectively, that connect the project to Philadelphia, Washington, D.C., Baltimore and other important industrial markets. In addition, the York County submarket offers distributors and manufacturers convenient access to the Port of Baltimore, three major intermodal rail stations, and FedEx and UPS distribution hubs.

The 423,300-square-foot distribution facility will feature 32-foot clear heights, 87 dock doors, 52-foot by 54-foot column spacing, early suppression fast response (ESFR) fire sprinklers and high-capacity parking, including 179 auto spaces and 146 trailer storage stalls.

Ridgeline Property Group to Develop 714,560 SF Industrial Building in McDonough, GA

Atlanta, December 9, 2014 – In a move to meet the rising demand for “class A” bulk distribution space in metro Atlanta, Ridgeline Property Group (RPG) today announced it will develop a 714,560-square-foot industrial speculative building in McDonough, GA., in the South Atlanta Industrial submarket. Clarion Partners will be RPG’s capital partner for McDonough Commerce Center, which will be built on a highly visible, 53-acre site located in the heart of Henry County’s industrial bulk submarket, directly off of the Interstate 75 and Hwy 155 interchange.

The speculative building’s modern and flexible design will provide maximum efficiency for large-scale distribution operations, including e-commerce order fulfillment. The project is scheduled to be delivered in late-summer 2015. Ben Logue and Price Weaver of Colliers International’s Atlanta office have been selected to market the property for lease.

“Atlanta’s industrial sector has rebounded strongly and the market is starved for high-quality, modern product,” said Mike Gray, President of RPG. “In particular, e-retailing has changed the landscape in the logistics arena, and this project provides sophisticated users optimal ceiling clear height, increased bay spacing, and greater car and trailer parking capacity.”

Gray added: “This state-of-the-art development enjoys an ‘A-plus’ strategic location, offering immediate access to I-75 via two interchanges in one of the most dynamic supply chain markets in the U.S. McDonough Commerce Center will enable any company to reach the Southeast US markets in one day and over 60 percent of the U.S. population in less than two.”

Located on Avalon Parkway, the project site is 1/4 mile from Exit 216 and less than 1.5 miles from Exit 218. Design features of the Class A facility include 36-foot clear heights, 56-foot-wide bay spacing, all concrete truck courts, ESFR fire suppression and high-capacity parking, including 431 car parking spaces and 160 trailer spaces (expandable to 240 trailer spaces).

RPG’s McDonough Commerce Center project announcement coincides with the ongoing resurgence of the Atlanta industrial sector, which absorbed 10.5 million square feet through third-quarter 2014. According to the Third Quarter 2014 Atlanta Industrial Market Report from Colliers International, the vacancy rate for warehouse and distribution properties is below 10 percent for the first time in nearly a decade. In addition, anticipated occupancy gains by the end of the year are expected to contribute to the highest absorption in Atlanta since 2006.

“We’re very pleased to partner with Ridgeline Property Group on this project. RPG and its team members have extensive expertise developing big-box industrial projects, and this project’s strategic location combined with the scarcity of existing space above 500,000 square feet in the Atlanta market makes this an opportune and appropriate time to develop McDonough Commerce Center,” said Thomas Flanigan, Senior Vice President of Clarion Partners.

Ridgeline Property Group’s principals have extensive experience in Henry County and have completed more than 5 million square feet of investment grade, industrial buildings in the I-75 South corridor, including distribution centers for The Whirlpool Corporation (1,504,800 SF), Georgia-Pacific (900,640 SF) and Kumho Tire (412,000 SF), among others.

Ridgeline Property Group, Hillwood Investment Properties to Develop 1.1 MSF Industrial Building in Braselton, GA

Braselton Commerce Center will provide the largest big-box space available in the Southeast U.S.

Atlanta, October 21, 2014 – Ridgeline Property Group (RPG) and Hillwood Investment Properties (Hillwood), two leading commercial real estate development firms in the U.S., announced today their intent to jointly develop a 1,074,596-square-foot distribution building in Braselton, GA., in the I-85/Northeast submarket of Atlanta.

The facility will offer the largest block of Class “A” distribution space available in the Southeast U.S. A groundbreaking will take place November 1, 2014 and the building is scheduled to be completed in second-quarter 2015. Colliers International Atlanta has been selected to market the property for lease.

“We’re pleased to announce this partnership to develop the Braselton Commerce Center. Ridgeline and Hillwood are very strategic and selective in the projects they choose to develop and both groups have successful track records of developing big-box industrial buildings across the U.S., including Georgia,” said Mike Gray, President of RPG. “The improving economy continues to create heightened demand for quality industrial space, and we believe this is an appropriate time to develop a big-box, modern distribution center in this location.”

Located off of State Route 124, the distribution center site is less than one mile from the I- 85/Hwy 53 interchange in Braselton. The distribution facility’s modern design will provide maximum efficiency for large-scale distribution operations. Design features include 36-foot clear heights, 56-foot-wide bay spacing, all concrete truck courts, ESFR fire suppression and high- capacity trailer parking (243 trailer spaces, expandable to 466).

“The I-85/Northeast submarket offers a strategic distribution location providing access to large population centers across the Southeast U.S., but large blocks of distribution space in this corridor are extremely scarce. In fact, there is currently no space of more than 500,000 square feet available in this submarket,” said Chris Brown, Senior Vice President of Hillwood Investment Properties. “This project will meet the need for big-box space while creating significant economic development benefits for the town of Braselton and Jackson County, including hundreds of construction, warehouse and office jobs.”

Ridgeline Property Group’s Principals and Hillwood Investment Properties have developed numerous distribution buildings in Georgia. Ridgeline’s Principals have completed projects in Georgia that include the Whirlpool Corporation distribution building (1,504,800 SF) in

McDonough, GA.; A Consumer Products distribution building (900,640 SF) in McDonough, GA.; and the Southwire Corp. distribution building (399,500 SF) in Villa Rica, GA. Hillwood’s projects in Georgia include Jackson 85 Distribution Center Building 2 (1,004,400 SF) in Pendergrass, GA.; Commerce 85 Distribution Center (962,280 SF) in Commerce, GA.; and Jonesboro Commerce Center (499,960 SF) in Jonesboro, GA.

“We’re honored to be selected to market this property for lease on behalf of Ridgeline and Hillwood,” said Bob Mathews, President and CEO of Colliers International Atlanta. “This building will provide the most efficient and well-designed space for modern distribution operations and our brokerage team looks forward to leveraging their extensive experience and comprehensive marketing platform to lease up this space.”
