Manulife Investment Management, together with Reliant Real Estate Partners, has secured a 1 million-square-foot lease at Locust Grove Distribution Center. The facility is in the Atlanta suburb of Locust Grove

CJ Logistics America took a full-building, long-term lease at 700 Price Drive. Part of a 311-acre business park, Locust Grove Distribution Center is a recently constructed Class A industrial facility.

“Locust Grove Distribution Center was developed as a strong core industrial asset in one of the best performing industrial markets in the country,” said Erik Gustafson, head of U.S. real estate asset management at Manulife Investment Management.

Atlanta’s transportation network includes the busiest passenger airport in the world, three major interstate highways and the port of Savannah within a three-hour drive. Reliant’s co-founder and principal Tyler Fann and Adam Richards oversee industrial leasing for Locust Grove Distribution Center. CJ Logistics America was represented in the transaction by Lynn Reich, Suzanne Serino, Sean Boswell  and Scott Plomgren of Colliers.
