The building will offer\u00a040-foot clear heights, cross dock loading and abundant truck trailer storage.<\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cThe appeal for this development is the location of Gillem,\u201d<\/em> Forrest Robinson, CEO of Robinson Weeks Partners, told <em>Commercial Property Executive<\/em>.<em> \u201cDemand for industrial facilities is at an all-time high. Atlanta has seen record absorption for the last several quarters.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Gillem Logistic Center\u2019s first speculative building, an 848,421-square-foot building, includes tenants such as Kuehne + Nagel, a leading global provider of innovative and fully integrated supply chain solutions.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The property sits between Interstates 75, 285 and 675 and is located 12 miles from downtown Atlanta and is 4.5 miles to the Atlanta Airport.\u00a0The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.commercialsearch.com\/news\/trammell-crow-clarion-partners-team-up-on-cali-logistics-center\/\">Logistics Center<\/a> also provides access to major shipping and transportation hubs, including a FedEx Customer Center, FedEx Ground, UPS Customer Center, USPS, CSX Hub and the Port of Savannah.<\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cIt\u2019s close in location with good labor supply and a local municipality that wants this type of development,\u201d<\/em>\u00a0added Robinson. <em>\u201cE-commerce is pushing companies to grow their logistics distribution capacity. We have good incentives as well.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>According to Robinson, there are only a couple of large scale building of 1 million square feet that can be expanded to 1.5 million square feet and has land available for additional parking and trailer storage.<\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cThe shift in consumer purchasing habits has forced companies to adjust their supply chains to meet demand, now providing quick turnaround direct-to-consumer and brick-and-mortar delivery,<\/em>\u201d said Robinson, in prepared remarks. <em>\u201cThis disruption in the marketplace leaves e-commerce and distribution centers in need of strategic access to local and national transportation, multi-year incentives, and a local industrial labor base, all of which Gillem Logistics Center offers.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>According to recent Census figures, a labor force of about 110,000 targeted workers are within a 30-minute drive time. The building is scheduled to be complete by the first quarter of\u00a02018.<\/p>\n<p><em>Image courtesy of Robinson Weeks Properties\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The plan is to build a 1 million-square-foot logistics asset, which could be expanded to 1.4 million.
