Carrier Build-to-Suit Underway at Nashville Airport

NASHVILLE, TN—HSA Commercial, Inc. reports it has commenced construction on a new build-to-suit for heating, air conditioning and refrigeration manufacturer Carrier at 60 Airways Blvd., adjacent to Nashville International Airport here.

Carrier is scheduled to take occupancy of is new 50,000-square-foot regional distribution center in the spring of 2015. The facility, to be located at the northwest corner of Airways Boulevard and Jetway Drive, will be built to satisfy Carrier's specifications including a 4,000-square-foot area utilized as a showroom and training center. The Carrier distribution center will be designed and built by Nashville-based T.W. Frierson Contractor, Inc. Lee Black of CBRE represented Carrier in the lease transaction.

The Carrier facility will be constructed on land next 50 Airways Blvd., a 200,000-square-foot industrial building acquired by an HSA partnership in 2010 that was recently fully leased. Both buildings are located adjacent to the Nashville International Airport and tarmac areas in a free trade zone.

In 2010, Chicago-based HSA Commercial completed a separate 71,250-square-foot lease transaction with Carrier at the firm's 495,000-square-foot Baton Rouge West industrial development in Port Allen, LA.

“Carrier has been a great tenant of ours in Baton Rouge, and we are pleased to have the opportunity to work with them again on this build-to-suit project,” says Craig Phillips, executive vice president of development with HSA Commercial, Inc.
