CHICAGO—First Industrial Realty Trust, Inc. has just found a long-term tenant for its new speculative building in southeast WI, and plans to break ground today on another spec building in the same business park.
Located in the Village of Somers, WI in Kenosha County, the Chicago-based company's First Park 94 is a master-planned business park that can eventually accommodate about 4.6 million square feet of development. Although First Industrial did not disclose the name of its new tenant, the 601,439-square-foot building will be fully occupied.
“We are excited to lease our initial building at First Park 94 which will be the primary Midwest distribution hub for our tenant,” says David Harker, executive vice president for First Industrial. “We are launching our second building at the park which will total approximately 600,000 square feet with expandability. We aim to serve other leading companies that can also benefit from this efficient logistics location and the area's skilled labor force to meet their customers' needs within the region.”
