COLUMBUS—Columbus has been a bit slower to come around than some of the other industrial markets in the Midwest like Chicago and Indianapolis, but so far, it's had a solid year. And with Pier 1 Imports deciding to sign up for a major expansion in new warehouse and distribution space, there is every sign that the momentum of the first quarter will continue.

The retailer will occupy 190,400-square-feet of space at Transpacific Development Company's 5701 N. Meadows Dr., in suburban Grove City. Terms of the transaction were not disclosed.

“We are happy to have Pier 1 Imports as our tenant in this property,” said Thomas Irish, president of TDC. “Pier 1 Imports is one of the most diverse retailers in the US, importing products from around the world to its retail locations. We are very pleased that they selected our property to expand their distribution capabilities.”
