ATLANTA — A joint venture between Clarion Partners and Seefried Industrial Properties is developing a 285,600-square-foot distribution facility at SouthPark Distribution Center near Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport in Atlanta. The property is being constructed for Pittsburgh-based PPG Industries, a global supplier of paints, coatings, optical products, chemicals, glass and fiberglass. PPG Architectural Finishes Inc., a subsidiary of PPG Industries, will be the tenant and will use the facility as its Southeastern distribution center. The industrial project will be completed in December. Trevor Ragsdale, Paul Roeser and Alan Clayton of Jones Lang LaSalle represented PPG Industries. “As the existing Class A space is leased, coupled with limited new development, companies like PPG who desire to increase their operating efficiencies by leasing a facility with modern building specifications need to enter into build-to-suit transactions like this one,” says Tom Flanigan, senior vice president of Clarion Partners.
