DALLAS, TX – October 18, 2013 Trammell Crow Company, one of the nation’s leading developers and investors in commercial real estate, and joint venture partner Prudential Real Estate Investors, the real estate investment management business of Prudential Financial, Inc. (NYSE:PRU), have broken ground on Trammell Crow Penn Distribution Center, a 823,379 square foot Class A, speculative, industrial building located in southern Dallas County.
“There are two groups that have been instrumental in bringing this development together. Prudential Real Estate Investors has been a great partner over the years and we have had great success. This is the third industrial development with Prudential in the I-20 corridor. The City of Dallas has also been a strategic partner in the process. They have paved the way to provide economic growth to the I-20 southern Dallas corridor,” said Scott Krikorian, Managing Director and head of Trammell Crow Company’s Dallas/Fort Worth Business Unit. “The location has a strong demand for bulk warehouse space over 500,000 square feet. The intersection of I-35 and I-20 has proven to be the epicenter of logistics with product moving from Mexico into the region and then distributed locally or nationally via I-20 and I-35.”
Trammell Crow Penn Distribution Center sits on nearly 47 acres and is located along I-20 in south Dallas. The site offers the best ingress and egress in the region and provides great highway visibility. The new facility will feature 36’ clear, modern warehouse and will pursue LEED® certification. Construction is expected to be completed in May 2014.
