The Raleigh/Washington, DC office of Duke Realty Corporation (NYSE: DRE), the leading domestic-only, pure-play logistics property REIT in the United States, announces that it has signed a lease with Industrial Microwave Systems in Greenfield North 900. The designer of microwave systems for continuous flow manufacturing processes will occupy 25,500 square feet in a 128,035-square-foot logistics building which is part of Greenfield North Business Park, Duke Realty’s eight-building logistics real estate development in Garner.
“We are very pleased to welcome Industrial Microwave Systems to Greenfield North 900, one of our high-quality industrial properties in Greenfield North Business Park,” said Battista Orcino, Vice President of Leasing and Development for Duke Realty in Raleigh. “With their lease, we were able to immediately fill one of our two vacancies with a high-quality tenant and bring that building back to 100 percent occupancy.”
Following the transaction with Industrial Microwave Systems, Duke Realty only has availability in two buildings in Greenfield North Business Park — Greenfield North 1201, a 165,921-square-foot facility which was delivered just last month, and 10,000 square feet in Greenfield North 800. A 10.87-acre parcel, which will support one building totaling approximately 136,400 square feet, remains available for development.
Greenfield North Business Park is located at the interchange of I-40 and U.S. 70 and the proposed extension of I-540. The park, which is the only rail-served industrial park in the Raleigh area, is within minutes of downtown Raleigh, Raleigh-Durham International Airport, the Research Triangle and the I-440 Beltline. Leading companies in the park include Atlantic Tire Distributors, Crown Equipment Corporation, Mattress Firm, the North Carolina Department of Transportation, Mohawk, Butterball and Golden State Foods.
