Hanger Maker Signs Lease at LogistiPort

POOLER, GA- The Great American Hanger Co. has signed an 84,560-sf lease at the 72-acre Savannah LogistiPort in order to consolidate operations currently located in Miami and Reno, NV. The company, which creates hangers made from wood, satin, plastic, metal and bamboo for residential, retail and hotel use, will use the space as its primary import distribution center. The value of the six-year lease is approximately $2 million, says Matthew Goodman, principal with CresaPartners Miami, which represented the hanger company in the deal along with executive vice president Ed Riggins.

Great American will leave its 20,000-sf space at 7500 NW 25th St. in Miami and 7,000 sf at a third-party logistics space in Reno to quadruple its square footage at the DP Partners-developed LogistiPort. “We’re accommodating for future growth,” Jose Palma, technology manager and project manager for Great American’s move, tells GlobeSt.com. The business is expected to move in this November after tenant improvements are completed.

Coincidentally, the company will be sharing the 365,000-sf warehouse at LogistiPort with another distributor that has moved from the Miami market—Dole Packaged Foods LLC. As reported by GlobeSt.com, Dole signed for 166,000 sf within the same building in late June to serve as a distribution center for packaged fresh fruit and vegetables, replacing a similar facility in Miami.
