Construction financing secured for Durham Logistics Center
CHARLOTTE, Sept. 23, 2024 - JLL Capital Markets announced today it arranged the construction financing for Durham Logistics Center, a 351,030-square-foot Class A industrial property in Durham, North Carolina.
JLL worked on behalf of Lovett Industrial to arrange the loan through Comerica Inc.
The rare infill 27.8-acre logistics and distribution development site will feature 36-foot clear heights, 84 dock-high doors, 185-foot truck court and 86 trailer parking spaces. Construction kicked off in August 2024, with delivery planned for early Q4 2025.
Located at 1716 Camden Ave., the property is positioned at an irreplaceable location, fronting I-85 and I-885 intersection with immediate access to the vital transportation and logistics corridor that has fueled the rise of the Sun Belt. Moreover, the project boasts unparalleled access to the entirety of the booming Raleigh-Durham MSA and its core demand drivers - including the world-renowned Research Triangle Park (RTP), situated just ten miles away.
The JLL Debt Advisory team was led by Bobby Norwood and Taylor Allison along with Hamp Gibbs and Nick Thornton.
"Durham Logistics Center is a testament to the Raleigh-Durham market's strong fundamentals," said Norwood. "We are seeing continued investor and lender interest in markets with diverse economic drivers, skilled labor pools and robust population growth - all hallmarks of the Triangle area."
