Atlanta, GA – Ackerman
& Co. announced it is developing a 1,000,480-square-foot bulk distribution
center in Jackson County.
This follows the company successfully securing two
land parcels totaling 107 acres off of Broadway Avenue and BDC Parkway in
Atlanta’s northeast industrial submarket – arguably the largest industrial
tenant submarket in the Southeast.
The land deal, acquired from Synovus Bank
for $4.5 million, closed last Friday.
“Buildings nearing or
greater than one million square feet remain the most dynamic segment of the
Atlanta industrial market,” said Kris
Miller, President of Ackerman & Co.
“Seven new leases have been signed
in the last 14 months in these larger buildings. There is no uncommitted
one-million-square-foot inventory remaining in all of Atlanta – Braselton
Logistics Center will be one of a few, if not the only, to deliver in the next
12 months,” he added.
Braselton Logistics Center
is located less than 1.5 miles from I-85 and the Georgia Highway 211
Interchange, and is equidistant between two diamond interchanges (exits 126 and
129 off I-85). It is also surrounded by a diverse mix of existing tenants
including Mizuno, Hitachi, Whole Foods Markets, Havertys, Carter’s and Kichler,
to name a few. Braselton Logistics Center is strategically positioned for both
local and regional distribution, and offers convenient amenities and proximity
to a quality labor force.

The speculative bulk
distribution center is slated to deliver in the first quarter of 2017. The
cross-dock building will feature 40-foot clear heights, ductilcrete© floors,
and heavy trailer and car parking.
The development team includes architect
Randall Paulson, civil engineer Elberly Associates and Conlan Company as
general contractor.
“The merits of this site
jump off the page for big-box distribution,” said Ackerman & Co. Senior
Vice President Pat Chesser.
“The
Yates Group brought this tremendous opportunity to our attention and with
exceptionally creative planning, we were able to proceed with this challenging
site and still offer a competitive rate.
"We assembled two parcels to slide and
rotate the building and adjusted grades to avoid the sub-surface granite.”
Transwestern’s Julian Brown and Brett Buckner of
Ackerman & Co. will spearhead leasing efforts at the property.
