The Quincy, MA-based Grossman Cos. owns four other buildings onthe highway including 230 McClellan, home to Yusen Air & Sea;290 McClellan, home to BAX Global; 310 McClellan, home to GeoLogistics as well as 370 McClellan. According to Richard McKinnon,director of brokerage services for Grossman, each of the buildingsis comprised of air freight warehouse space.

McKinnon notes that demand is very high for that type of space,but zoning issues wouldn't allow the company to construct a similartype of building at 150 McClellan. The vacancy rate for SouthBoston's industrial market is currently about 10%; however,McKinnon notes that buildings on this highway occupy a "niche"market of warehouse space with immediate access to LoganInternational Airport. He says that the company's four buildingsare all fully occupied.

McKinnon emphasizes that the small storage facility was moreappealing to local residents and will have a "low impact" on itssurrounding area. He adds that the facility will cater to residentsas well as small businesses in the area.
