Mohr Capital, Panattoni to Deliver 1 MSF Warehouse for Cooper Tire in Mississippi

MARSHALL COUNTY, MISS. — Mohr Capital, in conjunction with Panattoni Development Co., is underway on a 1 million-square-foot industrial warehouse for Cooper Tire & Rubber Co. in Marshall County, a Mississippi county within the Memphis MSA. The Findlay, Ohio-based company specializes in the design, manufacturing, marketing and sale of passenger car, truck, motorcycle and racing tires. Alston Construction is the general contractor for the project, and Pickering Firm Inc. is the architect. The new building, located within Panattoni’s Gateway Global Logistics Center, will be used to distribute Cooper Tire’s products directly to customers and supply its regional distribution centers. Gary Horn of Mohr Capital and Preston Thomas of Colliers International represented Cooper Tire in the lease negotiations, and Jim Mercer of CBRE represented Panattoni. The project represents a $50.5 million investment, according to local media reports. An affiliate of Gramercy Property Trust has acquired the land, is funding the development and will own the asset upon completion. The facility is slated for completion this fall and will become Cooper Tire’s largest distribution center in the United States.
