The 65,892-square-foot and 74,480-square-foot buildings will be divisible from 16,000 square feet to 35,000 square feet. The properties will feature 28-foot clear heights, ESFR sprinklers, a mix of dock-high and grade doors and a 180-foot shared concrete gated truck court.

The second phase is slated for completion in April 2020. Andy Markham, Mike Haenel and Phil Haenel of Cushman & Wakefield are marketing the new buildings for lease.
