Industrial Supplier Buys 112 Acres West of Atlanta

ATLANTA—Riverside at Sweetwater Creek, a 309-acre corporate business park in Douglasville, GA has sold off 112 acres of land to industrial parts supplier McMaster-Carr. The company has received city approval to expand the building to 1 million square feet. Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed.

McMaster, which currently occupies buildings in Northwest Atlanta, will consolidate operations in a new 700,000-square-foot corporate campus west of the city that will serve as an e-commerce fulfillment center for the products it supplies to manufacturing plants and commercial facilities around the world. Groundwork for the 700,000-square-foot build-to-suit facility has begun and doors will open in about 18 months.
