IDI Signs 126,256 SF with Hettich America in NE Atlanta

ATLANTA, GA – IDI, a leading full-service industrial real estate company, has signed a new lease with Hettich America in the northeast Atlanta market totaling 126,256 square feet.

 Hettich will occupy Building A at IDI’s Hamilton Mill Business Center (top left photo) , located at 4925 Hamilton Mill Road in Buford, Ga. beginning in June of this year.

Hettich, one of the leading global manufacturers of hardware for kitchen cabinets, residential furniture and appliances, will use the Gwinnett County location for storage, manufacturing and distribution of their products and also to house the company’s North American headquarters.

 The move represents a consolidation of the company’s existing headquarters in Alpharetta, Ga. and a separate manufacturing location in Baldwin, Ga. Hettich America operates as a subsidiary of the Hettich Group, a German-based company with annual sales of more than $700 million Euros.

IDI worked in partnership with the Gwinnett Chamber to bring Hettich to the county.

According to Gwinnett County Commission Chairman Charles Bannister (middle  right photo),  “Hettich brings the type of quality jobs and infrastructure to Gwinnett County that its leaders, Partnership Gwinnett and the Chamber work hard to attract.

" Companies like this help expand our global business reach, strengthen the County’s commercial tax base, and provide good jobs for our residents. I am proud to welcome Hettich to our community.”

Nathan Anderson of NAI Brannen/Goddard represented Hettich in the lease deal. Lisa Ward, (bottom left photo)  vice president of leasing in IDI’s Atlanta market office, represented IDI.

“Hettich chose the space at Hamilton Mill Business Center because of the Class A environment of the business park, its central location and convenience for their current employees,” said Ward. “With superior access to I-85 and I-985, we are confident they will be pleased with their choice.”

IDI-owned Hamilton Mill Business Center consists of seven buildings totaling 2.7 million square feet. Other notable tenants of the business park, which sits on 238 acres of land, include National Specialty Alloys (36,671 SF) and Ballistic Studios (20,893 SF). 25,314 square feet remains available for lease in Building A.
