With industrial space facing a tight 3.5% vacancy in Northeast Florida, NorthPoint Development is preparing to build the 217,268-square-foot Building E at Park 295 Industrial Park in Northwest Jacksonville for completion by year-end.
That comes as Alta Marketing leases the entire 435,943-square-foot Building D under development.
The 175-acre Park 295 has 139 developable acres at southwest Interstate 295 and Duval Road.
Park 295 owners plan about 1.7 million square feet of industrial development among five buildings.
Underscoring the demand for warehouse and logistics services in Jacksonville, landlord NorthPoint and representative Newmark Phoenix Realty Group has leased about 81% of that total space in four years.
Three of the five buildings are fully leased; Building E is under construction and available for lease; and Building A awaits development as a build-to-suit for lease to a tenant.
NorthPoint Development of Kansas City, Missouri, is the developer. The architect is StudioNorth Architecture, part of NorthPoint. Kimley-Horn and Associates Inc. is the civil engineer.
Through NP Jacksonville Industrial LLC, NorthPoint paid almost $4.77 million in August 2018 for the property.
Newmark Phoenix Realty Group Senior Vice President Richard Antczak, President and principal John Richardson and Senior Vice President and principal Ladson Montgomery are the agents.
Here is the update on the structures.
