The facilities came online between 1974 and 1997 and consist of suites ranging from 60,000 to 225,000 square feet. The distribution centers feature a total of 96 dock-high loading doors and drive-in doors, trailer stalls, more than 520 vehicle parking spaces and 27- to 29-foot clear heights. The park also has activatable rail spurs and rail doors.
The industrial campus is at 1910-1920 Campostella Road, 2115 Portlock Road and 1960 Diamond Hill Road, providing easy access to interstates 64 and 464. Downtown Norfolk is within 7 miles, while the Port of Virginia is some 18 miles northwest; downtown Richmond is 103 miles away.
Harvey Lindsey Commercial Real Estate Senior Vice President Charles Dickinson will conduct the leasing efforts. Cushman & Wakefield Vice Chair John Alascio secured the loan. Last year, Alascio was part of the group that arranged a $45 million floating rate loan for the refinancing of a 1 million-square-foot building in Tobyhanna, Pa.
