BLACK CREEK, GA. — JLL Capital Markets has secured $30.5 million in joint venture equity and $39.9 million in construction financing for Black Creek Commerce Center, a three-building industrial development underway in Black Creek, roughly 23 miles northwest of Savannah. Bobby Norwood, Mark Sixour, Britton Burdette, Jim Freeman, Kelsey Bawcombe and Austin Smith of JLL arranged the construction loan through Seacoast Bank on behalf of the developer, Xebec, and placed the joint venture equity with a unnamed, private investment group.
Scheduled to deliver in the third quarter of 2027, the 687,890-square-foot development will include three rear-load buildings that feature 36-foot clear heights, 50-foot loading bays with 60-foot speed bays, 130-foot truck courts, ESFR fire suppression systems and TPO roofing. The site sits nearly seven miles from Hyundai’s $7.6 billion Metaplant America facility underway and 28 miles from the Port of Savannah’s Garden City Terminal.
Xebec will continue to hold a right of first refusal on Phase II of the project, an adjacent 77-acre parcel, through April 2027.
