Z Gallerie to Open 225,000 Square-Foot Warehouse in Lithia Springs
20 January 2017 - 6:13AM
JLL (NYSE:JLL) announced today it has represented Z Gallerie
in its plans to open an east coast distribution and customer
service center at Skyview Business Center in Lithia Springs, west
of Atlanta. The distribution center is expected to create 115 jobs
and be fully operational by 2019. JLL Senior Vice President Steve
Grable, SIOR and Executive Vice President Barry Hill represented Z
Gallerie in the lease negotiations.
Based in Los Angeles, Z Gallerie operates 68 stores nationwide.
The fashion-forward furniture retailer has a local presence with
two Georgia stores at Atlantic Station in Atlanta and Perimeter
Mall in Dunwoody. Z Gallerie currently supports all its stores and
e-commerce business nationwide from one warehouse on the West
Coast.
Z Gallerie’s new facility represents a $3.7 million investment
to support east coast distribution and overall growth. The
innovative distribution facility features office and warehousing
space with 34 loading docks, two drive-in bays, a 32-foot clearance
height, an ESFR sprinkler system and energy efficient T-5
lighting.
The home furnishings retailer considered several Southeast
states for its new distribution center, including Tennessee, South
Carolina and Georgia. Metro Atlanta emerged as the optimal location
due to labor availability, state incentives and logistical access.
The new distribution center will improve operations and create a
more cost-effective supply chain.
“Metro Atlanta’s superior logistics framework, proximity to the
Norfolk Southern and CSX rail lines and access to the Georgia Ports
Authority import centers in Savannah are some of the key drivers in
Z Gallerie’s decision,” said Grable, a member of JLL’s Supply Chain
and Logistics Solutions Team.
“The JLL team was key in gathering market data to help Z
Gallerie make the best real estate decision,” said Victor
Navarrette, Vice President of Operations with Z Gallerie.
“We are excited to provide our east coast customers with a more
timely service experience in the near future,” added
Navarrette.
Z Gallerie’s announcement follows a record-breaking year for
Atlanta’s industrial real estate market. According to JLL’s fourth
quarter 2016 Industrial Insight report, Metro Atlanta surpassed 16
million square feet of absorption for the first time since
2000.
CBRE’s Trey Barry, Todd Barton and Greg Haynes represented the
landlord, Huntington Industrial Partners, in the lease.
