Overland Distribution Doubles Space at Port Crossing Commerce Center

LA PORTE, TX-Overland Distribution, which has been situated in approximately 100,000 square feet at the Port Commerce Crossing Center for several years, doubled its space at the facility, inking a deal for 206,368 square feet. The transaction keeps the logistics company in its current digs until 2017, and effectively fills the 412,000-square-foot industrial building.

Harmon, executive vice president with landlord ML Realty Partners in Chicago.  After negotiations involving Colliers International’s Gary Mabray and Mike Taetz (who represented the landlord) and Greg Egan of Leasesquarefeet.com (the tenant representative) developer and tenant decided on a more permanent solution for the facility at 1701 S. 16^th St. “We got this deal done in 15 days,” Harmon tells GlobeSt.com. “The quality of Overland Distribution made this an easy decision for us.”
