Located at 951 Willowbrook Road, the project occupies 70 acres adjacent to an 800,000-square-foot FedEx distribution center and less than 3 miles from Lehigh Valley International Airport. The building features 40-foot clear-height, an ESFR sprinkler system and 149 dock doors, as well as 166 trailer stalls and 759 car stalls. According to a Newmark industry report, the facility is fully leased to Geodis, an international shipment company.   

In mid-February, CenterPoint Properties expanded its Houston-area portfolio with the acquisition of a distribution facility in Pasadena, Texas. The property was developed on a 31-acre site with rail service provided by Union Pacific, BNSF and Kansas City Southern through the Port Terminal Railroad Association.
