ATLANTA—There's something new brewing in Northeast Atlanta. Trammell Crow Company (TCC) and joint venture partner Clarion Partners just acquired a 122-acre site located on Interstate 85 in the Jackson County segment of the Northeast industrial submarket. That's the largest industrial submarket in metro Atlanta.

TCC and Clarion plan to build a two-phase, class A industrial development on the site called Jefferson Mill Business Park. The park will be home to three industrial buildings totaling nearly 1.8 million square feet.

“The robust I-85 interstate connects Atlanta to the United States East Coast distribution corridor, specifically the Piedmont Atlantic Megaregion, spanning Birmingham to Raleigh, which contains 12% of the US population and is one the fastest growing areas in the country,” says Mark Dishaw, senior vice president with TCC's Atlanta Business Unit. “Due to its location, this area has proven to be one of the best logistical locations for distributors in the Southeastern US and is home to many major corporations such as Haverty's Furniture, Toyota, Kubota, and Walgreens.”
