Colliers Closes Sale of 1M-SF Louisville MSA Property
Colliers has closed the sale of the I-64 Commerce Center in the Louisville, Kentucky, logistics market.
The 1,052,831-square-foot building is fully leased to Canadian Solar, a solar and renewable energy company. The Colliers Midwest Investment Services Team, led by Alex Cantu, Alex Davenport, Jeff Devine, and Steven Disse, facilitated the transaction on behalf of Flint Development, the seller. Flint Development is a commercial real estate company specializing in industrial and multifamily projects across the U.S.
The facility was purchased by W. P. Carey. Located at 139 Logistics Drive in Shelbyville, Kentucky, the distribution location serves Canadian Solar’s new $800 million manufacturing facility in nearby Jeffersonville, Indiana.
Delivered in 2023, the state-of-the-art cross-docked facility features a 40’ clear height, ESFR sprinkling, 348 auto parking spaces, 230 trailer parking slots and full circulation. Canadian Solar plans to invest up to $500 million in the facility to develop its principal United States battery assembly facility.
