MECHANICSBURG, PA-Under the name West Harrisburg LLC, a private investor from California has acquired the 502,440-sf distribution center at 4501 Westport Dr. The property is 100% leased to Norcross, GA-based Unisource, a supplier of printing papers and packaging systems.

Cooper and C&W associate director Gerry Blinebury represented the buyer. Jack Shepley of Harrisburg-based NAI/CIR represented the unidentified seller.
