960K-SF Speculative Industrial Development in Columbus Breaks Ground

Trident Capital Group and O’Connor Capital Partners announced the closing of a joint venture with Clarion Partners for the next phase of its Rickenbacker Industrial Center, a 959,579 square-foot speculative industrial facility located at 1669 Rohr Road in Columbus, Ohio.

The partners also announced that construction has broken ground on the project, with delivery targeted for the first quarter of 2027. The building is being marketed for lease by JLL’s Dan Wendorf, Brian Marsh, and Joseph Davis. Situated on 57.30 acres, the project will feature 40-foot clear heights, 104 dock doors, 238 trailer parking stalls, and 336 car parking spaces. The building sits within a designated Qualified Opportunity Zone and carries a 15-year, 75% property tax abatement.

The site is located within the broader Rickenbacker industrial corridor, home to corporate distribution and logistics operations for companies including Amazon, ODW Logistics, PepsiCo, Whirlpool, Coca-Cola, AmerisourceBergen, Geodis, and Cardinal Health.
