Toshiba Ceramics Selling Land, Buildings

HILLSBORO, OR-The Japanese firm's local senior vice president tells GlobeSt.com he will soon select a broker to market two 10-acre parcels it still owns here, one of which holds the company's 50,000-sf manufacturing plant.

HILLSBORO, OR-Toshiba Ceramics says it will close its 50,000-sf Hillsboro manufacturing plant in January and consolidate operations in Japan. The closure will cost the region another 53 jobs, but it will free up another 10 acres for development.

The company’s senior vice president Pat Bremkamp tells GlobeSt.com that the building and the 10-acres it sits on will be marketed for sale along with an adjacent 10-acre parcel that remains vacant. “There is a particular real estate broker I plan to contact, but I haven’t yet,” says Bremkamp, declining to reveal the name until the broker accepts the disposition assignment. The broker could be local Grubb & Ellis executive Brad Fletcher, who was involved in the property’s sale to Toshiba Ceramics.

Toshiba Ceramics’ property is located at the corner of Cornell Road and 231st Street, near the Orenco Station, a retail development along the region’s east-west light rail line. The Hillsboro plant, the company’s only facility outside of Japan, opened more than 10 years ago. Local Grubb & Ellis executive Brad Fletcher helped broker the land deal for the project.
