Dietrich Industries, a Worthington Industries company based in Columbus, Ohio, is nearly doubling its space in this relocation from a warehouse just off Miami Gardens Drive near Interstate 95 in North Dade. Panther Distribution Center is located at 3505 N.W. 123 St.

Brian Smith, director of industrial brokerage, and Wayne Ramoski, senior director of industrial brokerage for Cushman & Wakefield in South Florida, represented the property owner, AMB Partners II LLP, in the Dietrich Industries transaction.

The amount of space that Smith and Ramoski leased year to date--454,000 sf--for AMB in the Gratigny/North Dade submarket points toward a strong interest in that submarket. The area is attractive to businesses in that it has rental rates nearly $2 per sf less than the Airport West submarket, buildings with high ceilings and great loading, and a connection to all major thoroughfares, according to a Cushman & Wakefield statement.
