Total Distribution Inc., a third-party logistics company, has leased the 1 million-square-foot warehouse. Total Distribution, formerly known as Grimes Companies, is part of Peoples Services Inc., based in Canton, Ohio.
CT Realty has been selling off some of the property.
Owners sold the 300,240-square-foot Building 2 on Dec. 19, 2023, for $32.8 million to a joint venture of Clarion Partners LLC and Diamond Realty Investments. IPEX Inc., a Canada-based wholesale supplier of specialized PVC and thermoplastic piping systems, leases the building.
In March, owners sold the 416,000-square-foot Building 3 and expansion property to the neighboring Southeast Toyota Distributors LLC for almost $39.5 million. Southeast Toyota paid $38.27 million for the building and $1.2 million for an expansion parcel of about 4.5 acres that would allow for another 100,000 square feet.
