CBRE Arranges 110,000 SF Lease for Ernesta in Cartersville, GA

CBRE has announced a 110,441-square-foot lease at Busch Logistics Park in Cartersville to Ernesta, a newly-formed direct-to-consumer custom-fit rug company founded by John Foley.

Matt Von der Ahe with CBRE in San Jose, CA and Scott Slappey with CBRE in Atlanta represented Ernesta. The landlord, Hines, was represented by JLL.

Headquartered in New York City, Ernesta expects to hire up to 50 people at its new Georgia facility, located at 1187 Cassville White Road NE. This will be the first manufacturing facility that Ernesta will operate.

“Ernesta’s property search was focused on the Interstate 75 North corridor because of the established presence the flooring industry has in the area,” said Slappey, Associate with CBRE’s Industrial Tenant Representation group.

The Atlanta metro area started 2023 with approximately 2.8 million square feet of industrial leasing activity. The market’s total vacancy rate remains at 4.5 percent.
