LRC Properties, Machine Investment Buy 2 Dell Parkway Warehouse Property in Nashville for $36.2M

by Julia Sanders May 14, 2021

NASHVILLE, TENN. — LRC Properties has bought 2 Dell Parkway, a 288,860-square-foot property comprising mostly warehouse and office space adjacent to Nashville International Airport. LRC Properties co-purchased the property with Machine Investment Group for $36.2 million. Randy Wolcott of Northstar represented the undisclosed seller in the transaction, and Melissa Alexander of Foundry Commercial represented the buyers. The property is currently 100 percent leased to Averitt Express and Amazon, which operates its Amazon flex business line from the location. The new ownership group plans to reposition the property by creating a shallow bay, last-mile warehouse and distribution space. Plans include expanding the property’s warehouse capabilities by removing the office and converting the building’s first floor to industrial warehouse space for smaller users in a 20,000- to 40,000-square-foot space. In addition, LRC will also develop an additional estimated 120,000 square feet of shallow bay warehouse space and add trailer parking. 2 Dell Parkway is LRC’s second investment in Tennessee in the past six months. In December, the New York City-based company purchased the 640,000-square-foot Technicolor Building in Memphis. With this purchase, LRC owns approximately 5 million square feet of commercial properties in the Southeast.

US Retail Sales Remain Static During April, But Economists Expect Strong Spending This Summer

WASHINGTON, D.C. — U.S. retail sales overall remained static in April, following a 10.7 percent increase in March, according to the Department of Commerce. The monthly data fell below expectations, as economists polled by Reuters had projected a 1 percent increase in retail sales. Some sectors of the economy did experience a substantial increase in spending, however. The Wall Street Journal reported that a tracker of credit- and debit-card spending from Bank of America revealed that outlays on airlines rose 23 percent, and that spending at restaurants and lodging also increased. Conversely, spending at department stores fell a seasonally adjusted 28 percent from March to April, while outlays on clothing and furniture also fell. Economists expect that pent-up consumer demand coupled with a buildup in personal savings will lead to more spending during the next couple of months, especially as states across the country are lifting pandemic restrictions on businesses. Many economists are hoping that consumers will feel more at ease as the COVID-19 vaccines roll out and millions of Americans become fully vaccinated. On Thursday, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention released a statement stating that there’s no longer a need for people who are fully vaccinated against …
