Best of the Best Awards
Development of the Year – Classic Accessories, Kent, WA
Arie Salomon and Taylor Hoff of NAI Puget Sound Properties
This property helped to increase CenterPoint’s footprint within a desired core market experiencing growing demand. Sitting on nearly 12 acres, the Classic Accessories facility is 223,732 SF. The asset is one mile from a full, four-way interchange, which connects to the regional marketplace, the Port of Seattle and the Port of Tacoma. This logistics advantaged location has rail proximity and allows for at least three to four truck trips per day to and from this port network.
Largest Acquisition – JCPenney, Buena Park, CA
Patrick Sullivan and Brett Spitzer of NAI Global
The JCPenney facility in Buena Park, California, now the CenterPoint SoCal Logistics Center, is the largest contiguous single-tenant building sale to take place in the Los Angeles basin within the last 25 years. Measuring in at 1,084,963 SF, this transload facility sits on nearly 45 acres. This asset is 19 miles away from the Port of Los Angeles and the Port of Long Beach, allowing for four to five trips per day to and from this port network. The CenterPoint SoCal Logistics Center will play an integral role in regional and domestic shipping as well as international trade.
Largest Build-to-Suit for Sale – CRRC, Chicago, IL
Matt Minik and Frank Minik of Jupiter Realty Services
CenterPoint Properties was selected by CRRC Sifang America, Inc. (CRRC) to develop a state-of-the-art rail car assembly facility located on 45.36 acres on Chicago’s south side. This building will initially fulfill a contract between CRRC and the Chicago Transit Authority for the CTA’s next generation of passenger rail cars. The facility includes 78,000 SF of warehouse, 35,192 SF of office space, and 267,752 SF for assembly and testing. Features of the project meet CRRC’s exacting requirements and include site and building rail tracks, overhead cranes, a rail car transfer platform, and a 2,500’ dynamic test track for rail car testing. The facility is on schedule to achieve LEED Silver upon completion in 2018.
Largest Leasing Volume – Clearwater Paper, Joliet, IL
Hugh Williams of Avison Young
Clearwater Paper has been a tenant in the CenterPoint Intermodal Center Elwood since 2003 and renewed its lease for 10 years in its existing 624,370 SF building at 21561 Mississippi St. In an effort to expand, the company also pre-leased a 237,200 SF building for 12 years at 26318 Walton Dr., neighboring its existing facility. Both buildings have excellent access to the BNSF Logistics Park. Clearwater’s expansion facility nearly doubles its rail door access, which is critical to the company’s business. With a $3.1 million capital re-investment, its current building will receive extensive roof, parking lot, dock, office and restroom improvements.
