PORT ALLEN, LA. — The Dow Chemical Co. has signed a 103,900-square-foot lease at 1870 Grand Terre Blvd. in the Baton Rouge West Distribution Center in Port Allen. Midland, Mich.-based Dow, an international manufacturer of chemicals and components used for consumer products, took occupancy on March 1. The new facility will enable Dow to save on shipping costs by streamlining distribution from its manufacturing plants elsewhere in Louisiana, according to Chicago-based HSA Commercial Real Estate, which developed the Baton Rouge West Distribution Center in 2008. The building features 30-foot clear ceiling heights, 80 exterior truck docks and 50-inch column bay spacing.
