Ellabell Welcomes New Tenant to Georgia International Commerce Centre
Exciting news is buzzing in the small town of Ellabell, Georgia, as Sino Investment Inc., a big player in global logistics, has just sealed a deal to lease more than 505,000 square feet at the Georgia International Commerce Centre (GICC). This new addition highlights the area’s growing reputation as a hot spot for logistics and trade.
What’s the GICC All About?
The Georgia International Commerce Centre is no small fry. It’s a sprawling 800-acre industrial park that houses multiple buildings, all totaling a whopping seven million square feet of warehouse space. Developed by a coalition of companies, including SJP Properties, Chesterfield, Atalaya Capital Management, and Manulife Investment Management, this project is set to become one of the standout Class A industrial developments on the East Coast.
Occupancy at the GICC is expected to kick off this month, so the excitement is palpable! Sino Investment Inc. has secured a significant chunk of the first completed building at 110 Commerce Parkway, making it a key player in this state-of-the-art facility.
Why Choose Ellabell?
One of the standout features of the GICC is its prime location, just 22 miles from the Port of Savannah, which happens to be the nation’s third busiest port. With international shipping on the rise, Sino Investment can capitalize on this pivotal point for global trade, especially between Asia, Europe, and North America. The Port of Savannah is well-known for its intermodal capabilities, hosting the largest rail facility for any port in North America. With weekly operations involving 38 CSX and Norfolk Southern trains, it’s a major hub for efficient transportation.
Sino Investment Inc. is known for providing comprehensive logistics solutions, including outsourced warehouse, distribution, and transportation management services specifically geared towards businesses navigating international shipping. Their new lease will enable them to not only store inventory but also fully optimize their supply chain operations, thanks to the high-tech and secure facilities the GICC offers.
The Rising Trend of Chinese Companies in Georgia
Ellabell and its surroundings have witnessed a substantial influx of Chinese third-party logistics (3PL) companies recently, making the area a vibrant center for international trade. As these companies establish a foothold in southern states, they are creating new economic opportunities and bolstering the local workforce.
With its proximity to major southern cities like Atlanta, Memphis, and Nashville, and even manufacturing hubs extending into the Midwest, the GICC is well-positioned to serve various logistics needs. As a result, it is becoming increasingly appealing to companies seeking reliable and efficient logistics options.
The Team Behind the Scene
The exclusive leasing agent for the GICC is Stephen Ezelle of Gilbert & Ezelle Inc., who is helping to connect businesses with this fantastic new development. For Sino, the leasing deal was represented by Yanni Xu from KW Executive in Los Angeles, making it a strategic partnership that signifies a bright future for logistics in the area.
