JLL worked on behalf of the seller, a private investor.
Virginia-based Gladstone Commercial purchased
the asset.
The facility was specifically designed for WestRock, one of the
largest corrugated box and specialty paper products companies in the world with
more than 15,000 worldwide customers.
The facility, which is used to manufacture and
distribute corrugated boxes, features 22-foot clear heights, 23 dock doors plus
two with ramps, LED lighting, a designated two-story office space and an
internal CSX rail spur for heavy material loading.
Situated on 22 acres at 111 Folmar Parkway, WestRock Corrugated
Box Production Facility is within the 700-acre Montgomery Interstate Industrial
Park and within an enterprise and Foreign Trade Zone.

The
facility is less than one-third of a mile from Interstate 65 and across from
the $1.8-billion Hyundai automotive plant. Additionally, this location allows
quick access to the entirety of WestRock’s “forest resource” suppliers across
North America.
The JLL Capital Markets team representing the seller was led by Britton
Burdette, Dennis Mitchell, Matt Wirth and Crosby Taylor. The Gladstone
acquisitions team representing the buyer was led by Buzz Cooper and EJ
Wislar.
“The balance of a premium credit with a heavy embedded operation
drove significant investor demand for this offering,” Burdette said. “We are
seeing strong investor demand for almost all things industrial right now, and
this trend should only continue for the foreseeable future.”
