Distribution Realty Group Plans 339K SF Spec Industrial in Plainfield, IN
The location, near FedEx and UPS hubs, coupled with a Hendricks County 10-year tax abatement, will provide exceptional advantages for logistics users, says Curran Darling, DRG's senior vice president.
PLAINFIELD, IN—A joint-venture between Distribution Realty Group and a private real estate fund advised by Crow Holdings Capital is developing a 338,520 square-foot speculative build industrial property at 9500 Bradford Road in Plainfield, IN, known as Plainfield Distribution Center.
The rear-load building will feature modern class A characteristics including 32-foot clear ceiling heights, LED lighting, up to 74 dock doors, 67 on-site trailer stalls and the flexibility to secure the truck court for three separate tenants. The building is designed to appeal to high-end warehouse and logistics companies seeking best-in-class space in Indianapolis.
“We are pleased to commence construction of Plainfield Distribution Center within the AllPoints Midwest business park,” says Curran Darling, DRG’s senior vice president of acquisitions and asset management in the Midwest. “From this location, our customers can take advantage of the nearby interstate access, FedEx Air Cargo Hub and UPS Regional Hub. The location, coupled with the low Hendricks County real estate taxes secured through a 10-year tax abatement, will provide exceptional advantages for logistics users.”
The venture has hired Brian Buschuk and Steve Schwegman of Jones Lang LaSalle to market the property for lease on its behalf. Arco Murray will construct the building.
