First LEED certified speculative industrial development since 2012
Trammell Crow Company and partner, Principal Real Estate Investors, announce the completion of Glisan Corporate Park, a 504,528-square-foot, 3-building, speculative development in Gresham, Oregon. The project sits on a 28.5-acre site and is the first LEED Certified industrial speculative development to complete since 2012. The three buildings, available for sale or lease and ranging from 139,727-to-200,701 square feet of industrial space, feature 30-to-32-foot clear heights, ample auto parking and trailer storage. Each building is situated on its own parcel with utilities (water/sewer) to serve each.
“Attracting jobs and businesses is one of Gresham’s top priorities, and we’re ready with a dedicated team of professionals to help save companies time and money,” said Gresham Mayor Shane Bemis. “Whether you’re an industrial business or a small company, the City is committed to being your partner every step of the way.”
“Portland is experiencing historically low vacancy rates, and with a constrained supply of additional development, we believe that Glisan Corporate Park is well positioned to accommodate high quality tenants looking for space in this tight market; nearly 4.4MSF is currently under construction, however 72 percent of that is preleased,” said Steve Wells, Senior Managing Director of Trammell Crow Company’s Portland office.
Glisan Corporate Park has great neighbors, from the wide range of nearby amenities to the Subaru distribution center and ON-Semiconductor facility, all of which lend to the high end corporate neighborhood while the Gresham Enterprise Zone* and excellent visibility add value to buyers and tenants alike.
“Speculative industrial buildings are a key component of the region’s economic development efforts and are critical when the market is tight and vacancy rates are low,” said Keith Leavitt, the Port’s chief commercial officer. “Having industrial space available ensures the Portland region doesn’t lose development opportunities due to the time and costs related to constructing new build-to-suit projects. These projects will help attract larger, nationally known companies looking to establish or expand their presence in the region, and offer modern options for smaller companies who do not have the resources to build their own facilities.”
“The LEED certification of Glisan Corporate Park creates value for tenants and the community in three primary ways,” said Louis Fontenot, Jr., LEED AP and Vice President with Trammell Crow Company Portland. “First, the energy and water efficiency standards employed in the buildings will reduce utility costs on an ongoing basis. Second, the indoor environmental quality measures implemented inside the building will create a healthier, more productive workplace for staff, and lastly, the LEED certification of this park demonstrate our commitment to a healthy environment for employees, neighbors and the community.”
Cara Nolan and Stuart Skaug of CBRE Portland are the exclusive listing agents on this assignment representing the Trammell Crow Company and Principal Real Estate Investors. “We have a mix of prospective tenants that are both new to the Portland market and others that are expanding in Portland,” added Nolan, Senior Vice President. “Many are wishing to improve their efficiencies by upgrading to a newer facility that offers higher clear height and trailer parking. In addition, we have heard from tenants that the labor available in the Gresham and east county area is favorable to their operations.”
