JACKSONVILLE, FL-Locally based medical supply company PSS World Medical Inc. has signed two leases totaling almost 230,000 sf. One lease is for 168,500 sf, long-term at Building 200 of Westside Industrial Park in Jacksonville; the second lease is for 61,129 sf at Crossroads VII within Crossroads Business Center near the Beach Line Expressway and Florida Turnpike in Orlando.

GVA Advantis senior director Monte Merritt, who is located in Jacksonville, and executive director Scott Nelson, in Atlanta, represented PSS in the Jacksonville transaction.

PointLine Inc. managing partner Walt Batansky represented PSS in the Orlando transaction. Indianapolis-based Duke Realty Corp., which owns Crossroads Business Center, was represented by senior leasing representative Kyle Armentrout. The lease enabled PSS to consolidate its Orlando and Tampa distribution efforts.

Building 200 is located at 4601 Bulls Bay Highway within Westside Industrial Park, a 960-acre master planned industrial park located at Bulls Bay Highway and Pritchard Road. Built in 2000, Building 200 was renovated in 2007 and is situated on 25 acres. Overall, the park has more than 650 developed acres with more than five million sf of manufacturing and warehouse space, and more than 50 tenants.

Crossroads VII is a 233,700-sf cross-docked distribution center. The lease brings the building to 100% occupancy. "PSS was looking to expand into a class A distribution facility and looked at every comparable property in the area," Batansky says. "In the end, Duke provided the right combination of quality and value."
