313,650-SF, newly delivered, state-of-the-art distribution and light assembly facility that is a build-to-suit for Science Applications International Corp. (SAIC) in Charleston, SC

CHARLOTTE, NC – JLL announces the $35.5 million sale of a 313,650-square-foot, newly delivered, state-of-the-art distribution and light assembly facility that is a build-to-suit for Science Applications International Corporation (SAIC) in Charleston, South Carolina.

Patrick Nally

JLL marketed the property on behalf of the seller, a joint venture between North Signal Capital and a fund managed by Westport Capital Partners LLC. Stockbridge purchased the asset.

The SAIC build-to-suit is 100% leased on a triple-net basis to SAIC, one of the U.S. government’s top defense contractors.

 Delivered in June 2019, the facility features a minimum 32-foot clear height, ESFR sprinkler system, a fully conditioned warehouse and tilt-up concrete construction with an attractive glass-lined facade. 

Located at 7413 Magi Road, the building is adjacent to the Naval Space and Warfare Systems Command (SPAWAR) campus, one of SAIC’s longstanding federal customers. 

Situated on 23.09 acres at 7413 Magi Road, the facility is in Hanahan, a northern Charleston suburb, and situated within North Pointe Commerce Park, a master-planned industrial park that is strategically positioned to house defense, manufacturing and logistics-oriented tenants. 

Chris Norvell

The building is equidistant to both Interstates 26 and 526 and proximate to the Port of Charleston, the CSX/Norfolk Southern Intermodal Yard and the Charleston International Airport.

The JLL Capital Markets team representing the seller consisted of director Patrick Nally, senior managing director Chris Norvell and associate Mike Massardo.

“This transaction represented an opportunity to acquire a true trophy-quality, core industrial asset in the land constrained Hanahan/North Rhett submarket,” Nally said. 

“This submarket – and specifically North Pointe Commerce Park – has displayed incredible fundamentals over recent years and has established itself to be one of the preeminent defense- and port-related industrial locations in the region. 

"Charleston possesses a dynamic array of industrial demand drivers, and we continue to see institutional investors view the market favorably for its long-term growth potential.”

Integrated CBD bringing first U.S. manufacturing location and 100 jobs to Phoenix, AZ

Former Sam's Club site, now a new manufacturing facility
in Phoenix, AZ for Institutional CBD oil
 and isolate supplier Integrated CBD

Andrew Medley

PHOENIX, AZ, July 17, 2019 – Institutional CBD oil and isolate supplier Integrated CBD has announced it will open its first U.S. manufacturing location and hire approximately 100 employees at HUB 317, a 225,157-square-foot project that in 2018 was renovated from a former Sam’s Club into a state-of-the-art, Class A, freeway visible flex industrial campus.

 Integrated CBD will use its new space at HUB 317 for CBD oil extraction, processing, custom formulating and research and development.

The facility is intended to provide industrial hemp-derived CBD ingredients and bespoke formulations to Fortune 500 customers in the cosmetic, supplement, nutraceutical, pharmaceutical and food and beverage industries.

Steve Larsen

The new facility is expected to generate more than 100 new jobs including high-skilled and high-paid senior level management, sales and research and development positions.

 The company is scheduled to take occupancy at HUB 317 during the fourth quarter of 2019.

 JLL Managing Director Andrew Medley and Executive Vice President Steve Larsen represented Integrated CBD. 

Ken McQueen, Chris McClurg and Brian Payne represented the owner and developer, a joint venture between Denver-based DPC Companies and Confluent Development.

“This facility marks a major milestone in this new industry,” said Jeff Dreyer, Chief Operating Officer and Co-Founder of Integrated CBD. “Our location at HUB 317 will be largest throughput and most efficient CBD oil extraction plant in the United States.”

Ken McQueen

HUB 317 is located on 12 acres at 317 S. 48^th St. in Phoenix, minutes from the Loop 202 and 143 freeways and Sky Harbor International Airport. 

The project combines the renovation of a 115,286-square-foot former Sam’s Club building with 109,645 square feet of new tilt-up industrial construction to create a fully modernized flex industrial campus.

Features of the new development include renovated office, warehouse/distribution and mezzanine space with 24- to 32-foot clear height, truckwell, grade-level and dock high loading options, 290 parking stalls and a 3,000 Amps/277-480 volt power supply.

Chris McClurg

The property’s location just east of State Route 143 and just west of the Loop 202 will give Integrated CBD exceptional access to major transportation corridors as well as freeway visibility with building and freeway monument signage opportunities.

 “HUB 317 is an ideal property for Integrated CBD, giving them a centralized and efficient supply chain location and brand new, state-of-the-art industrial space that not only provides extensive power but is also scalable to accommodate the company’s strong projected growth,” said Medley.

Jeff Dreyer

 HUB 317 is the first development partnership in the Phoenix industrial market between Colorado-based DPC Companies and Confluent Development. 

Graycor Construction Company was the general contractor and Ware Malcomb was the project architect.
