CBRE Arranges Industrial Leases in El Paso

EL PASO, TEXAS — CBRE has arranged leases for two logistics tenants at 7157 Merchant Ave. in El Paso. The buildings are part of a larger industrial portfolio purchased by Phoenix-based ViaWest Group in 2015. Tianhai Electric North America, an electronic components manufacturer for the automotive industry, leased 21,809 square feet. The El Paso warehouse location will support the company’s Cuidad Juarez operations plant across the U.S./Mexico border. Green Bay, Wis.-based RES Food Products International, manufacturer of pickles, sauces and salad dressings, has leased 20,000 square feet for distribution operations. Since acquiring the four-building, 245,473-square-foot portfolio in March 2015, ViaWest Group has installed new roofing, resurfaced the parking lots and updated the exterior paint. The portfolio is 60 percent occupied. Arturo De la Mora of CBRE’s El Paso office represented the landlord in lease negotiations.
