Spice Lab is an online retailer of sea salts, spices, seasonings, will will relocate its existing Pompano Beach distribution facility to PDC II.

“The Pompano Distribution Center buildings were highly prized by corporate tenants looking for both functionality and image,” Etner tells GlobeSt.com. “They offered the most modern features in the market, including superior clear heights, excess trailer storage and the ability to accommodate both front- and rear-load tenant profiles.”

Built in 2015, PDC II is a 128,342-square-foot, front-load, distribution center. The industrial facility sits at 4000 North Dixie Highway. It features 32-foot clear heights, 125-foot truck courts with 60-foot concrete aprons, 60-foot by 51-foot column spacing, ESFR sprinklers, T–5 lighting and excess trailer storage. In 2014, the team also fully leased its sister building, PDC I, a 220,210-square-foot rear-load distribution center built to similar specifications at 3901 Northeast 12th Avenue.

A little history on this industrial asset: The CushWake team has been involved with the Pompano Distribution Center project from the ground up. Representing American Cast Iron Pipe Company, the team sold the land for PDC I and PDC II to Robinson Weeks Partners in 2012 and 2014 respectively. The firm then retained CushWake to lease both buildings, bringing them to full occupancy in short order.
