423,665 SF Harvill Business Center Purchased by Black Creek Group ATLANTA, April 6, 2021 – Atlanta-based Core5 Industrial Partners announced today the recent sale of Harvill Business Center, a 423,665-square-foot modern logistics facility to Black Creek Group. The project completed construction in early 2020 to Class A construction specifications and incorporates the latest in technology with a Ductilcrete® concrete floor slab, 36’ vertical clear height, 2.5% skylights, LED lighting, a gated concrete truck yard, on-site truck stacking and low water landscaping. Harvill Business Center is fully leased on a long-term basis to American Standard (a subsidiary of Lixil Corporation), a leading North American plumbing and building products manufacturer. “The location, building quality, site functionality and the tenant were all key elements which made this asset highly sought after by investors,” stated Jon Kelly, Vice President of Development for Core5. “Core5 is very bullish on the Riverside County market and has another 197,865-square-foot project under construction in the area. We continue to see significant demand in the area with absorption demand outpacing supply.” Black Creek Group continues to invest in high-quality bulk and last-mile distribution warehouses in top-tier, high-barrier-to-entry markets. With this acquisition, the firm owns approximately 7.6 million square feet of industrial real estate in the Inland Empire, which includes properties under construction. “Demand for industrial space is being felt across the country, especially in the Inland Empire – one of the strongest industrial markets demonstrated by leasing activity outpacing supply,” said Gregg Boehm, managing director, market officer at Black Creek Group. “This acquisition represents the well-located, Class A space that the firm is committed to owning, and we are excited to secure this transaction as the market continues to tighten.” Core5 and Black Creek Group were represented on the investment sale by Michael Chavez of Lee & Associates.
