Last-mile distribution facility in Charlotte sells to EQT Exeter

CHARLOTTE, May 13, 2021 – JLL Capital Markets announced today that it has closed the sale of an 83,599-square-foot last-mile logistics facility at 2708 Yorkmont Rd. in Charlotte, North Carolina.

JLL worked on behalf of the seller, Brady Holdings LLC. EQT Exeter purchased the vacant facility and will reposition the asset given its strategic location and appeal to a wide variety of uses.

2708 Yorkmont Rd. provides exceptional access to a network of major transportation thoroughfares, including Interstates 77, 485 and 85, which is known as the industrial backbone of the Southeast. Situated within the high-demand Airport Industrial submarket, the facility is within minutes of some of Charlotte’s largest commercial and residential areas – Uptown, South End and South Park – and Charlotte Douglas International Airport. There are limited development opportunities within this submarket, making this an irreplaceable, last-mile location.

The JLL Capital Markets team representing the seller was led by Senior Managing Director Pete Pittroff, Managing Director Patrick Nally, Managing Director Brad Cherry, Associate Dave Andrews and Analyst Michael Scarnato.

“Last-mile logistics facilities are in extremely high demand from both tenants and institutional capital,” Pittroff said. “JLL would like to thank Brady Holdings for the opportunity to represent them and congratulate EQT Exeter on another successful acquisition in the Charlotte market.”

According to JLL Research, the Charlotte Industrial market remains healthy and is expected to be one of the largest beneficiaries of the ongoing industrial cycle of expansion. The Airport Industrial submarket had no new deliveries for industrial product in the first quarter of 2021 and a vacancy rate of only 6.6%. With less than one million square feet under construction and a lack of available land, facilities like the one at 2708 Yorkmont Rd. are in high demand.
