A logistics firm will fully occupy the building.
Stonemont Financial Group has signed a 733,200-square-foot lease at Georgia International Trade Center’s Building 4A, in Port Wentworth, Ga. Armstrong Logistics Inc. will fully occupy the facility, expanding its East Coast presence.
NAI Global negotiated on behalf of the tenant while Cushman & Wakefield and Gilbert & Ezelle will oversee all leasing efforts at the project.

Other development partners include Omega Construction as general contractor, Thomas & Hutton as civil engineer and Atlas Collaborative as architect. Stonemont financed the project with a $39.8 million construction loan originated by Manufacturers and Traders Trust Co. in October 2023 and with a maturity date in 2027, CommercialEdge data shows.
Building 4A is at 1001 Trade Center Parkway and includes 40-foot clear heights, four drive-in doors, cross-dock configuration, ample column spacing, 60-foot speed bays, 175 dock-high doors, 208 trailer parking spots and 186 vehicle parking spots, with the possibility of expansion to up to 275 vehicle parking spots.
