Trammell Crow Company and its partner, Allstate, have sold Phase II of King Mill Distribution Park near Atlanta to Pure Industrial Real Estate Trust (PIRET), a Canadian Real Estate Investment Trust (REIT) that focuses on industrial properties. Comprised of 760,256 square feet, the Class A industrial warehouse is located at 150 Distribution Drive, in McDonough, Georgia, and was part of Allstate’s investment portfolio before the sale.
“King Mill Distribution Park will be a great addition to PIRET’s current industrial portfolio as the REIT continues to expand its footprint throughout the state of Georgia and the U.S.,” said Mark Dishaw, Principal in TCC’s Atlanta Business Unit. “We have now successfully developed and sold each of our King Mill buildings totaling more than 1.6 million square feet and look forward to more development opportunities in the area.”
In May, the joint venture sold Phase I of King Mill Distribution Park to American Realty Advisors. The 846,496-square-foot Class A building is fully leased to Wayfair, a Boston-based e-commerce retailer specializing in home furnishings and décor. CBRE Global Investors–Americas acted as Allstate’s adviser on the transaction.
“Once again, we’ve achieved excellent results through our tremendous teamwork with CBRE Global Investors,” said Mike Moran, Allstate’s Managing Director of Real Estate Equity. “We’re thrilled with the outcome of the sale of King Mill Phase II, which was a great asset to our portfolio, as we expect it will also be to its new owner.”
Mike Everly, Portfolio Manager for CBRE Global Investors, added: “Through effective collaboration with Trammell Crow Company and CBRE on both phases of the King Mill project, we were able to help our client achieve a favorable outcome in the industrial sector, which has had limited supply in this key strategic market that has strong fundamentals and high demand.”
The building features 36-foot clear building heights, ample trailer storage and employee vehicle parking, efficient ingress/egress at two separate entrances, and a flexible design that can accommodate multiple tenants served by separate entrances. King Mill Distribution Park is located in the Henry County segment of the I-75 South industrial submarket with easy access to I-75, the full Georgia State Route 155 Interchange, as well as access south on I-75 via Billy Gardner Parkway.
CBRE Atlanta’s Frank Fallon, Chris Riley and Trey Barry represented the seller in the transaction.
