JLL closes sale of Atlanta light industrial property

ATLANTA, March 18, 2020 – JLL Capital Markets announced today that it has closed the sale of Piedmont Warehouses, a two-building, shallow-bay, light industrial property totaling 120,800 square feet in an irreplaceable, urban, in-fill location in Atlanta, Georgia.

JLL marketed the property on behalf of the seller, a partnership between Weaver Capital Partners and The Seng Company. An undisclosed buyer purchased Piedmont Warehouses.

Situated on 5.6 acres at 2091-2241 Faulkner Rd., the property is positioned directly between the Buckhead and Midtown central business districts and is surrounded by affluent neighborhoods with increasing residential density. Infill industrial product close to the urban core is rapidly diminishing as buildings are repurposed or demolished for other uses, and Piedmont Warehouses represents one of the few remaining options for functional distribution space serving small and mid-size tenants. Immediate access to Interstates 85 and 75 and GA-400 connects the properties to the entire Atlanta MSA and enables tenants to reach more than two million people in under 30 minutes. The buildings were renovated in 2018 and feature 34 dock-high doors, 16-foot clear heights, 25% office finish and numerous suites with air-conditioned warehouse space.

The JLL Capital Markets team representing the seller was a combined effort between the Industrial and Office Investment Advisory groups based in Atlanta.
