Chicago, 11 January 2017 – GLP, a leading global provider of modern logistics facilities, has signed long-term lease extensions with a leading global appliance company accounting for 3.6 million square feet (334,000 square meters) at three US facilities in Columbus (Ohio), Atlanta (Georgia) and Orlando (Florida).
The Ohio property is in the largely institutional Southeastern submarket near Rickenbacker Airport, which provides excellent proximity to key distribution channels throughout the Midwest.
The Atlanta property has immediate access to I-75 and is effectively positioned to allow access to the coastal ports and end users throughout the Southeast to maximize intermodal transportation networks.
The Orlando property is located near the Florida Turnpike and has flexibility to nearly double its current capacity to accommodate the customers’ growth.
