“With more than 20 years of development under our belts, it is extremely refreshing to be welcomed into a community with such open arms. Camden County, JDA and the City of Kingsland have been outstanding to work with and will be great allies as we move forward with this exciting project. We also want to thank Bill Gross who is our local partner and provided invaluable introductions to key members of the community as well as the JLL team for their knowledge and expertise within the industrial market," said Dan Lacz with QTR Development Partners.

City of Kingsland Mayor Grayson Day added, "We have long known that Kingsland's location along I-95, between the ports of Jacksonville and Brunswick and less than 25 miles from Jacksonville International Airport make it the ideal location for businesses desiring a logistics advantage. We are pleased to welcome the Gateway Logistics Center and look forward to welcoming new businesses that will create jobs for our citizens."

"From my first meeting with the QTR principals, I knew they were people I wanted to do business with. Despite their causal dress code and wild stories, it was clear that the extensive development experience, transparency, and level of integrity is what drives the group's success, said Bill Gross of W.H. Gross Construction. “I am happy that my contiguous land parcel was accretive to the development and will be part of such a tremendous economic benefit to the region."
