Monday, June 23rd, 2025

 A joint venture among Trammell Crow Company (TCC), a leading commercial real estate developer, and clients advised by MetLife Investment Management have completed construction on the first phase of Coastal Trade Center in Rincon, Georgia, approximately 14 miles from the Port of Savannah. Phase one features three Class-A, speculative, cross-dock warehouse buildings totaling 2,329,600 square feet. All three are being marketed for lease by JLL.

The largest of the three warehouses is Building 3, which measures approximately 1.2 million sq. ft. The second largest, Building 4, measures 640,640 sq. ft. while Building 5 measures 473,760 sq. ft. All three buildings are divisible and feature 40-foot clear heights, 56-foot by 50-foot column spacing, 185-foot truck courts, trailer storage space, car parking, ample electrical service, and an ESFR fire protection system. Each building also includes fully air-conditioned speculative interior office areas.

“Our successful delivery of phase one at Coastal Trade Center marks a major milestone in unlocking next-generation industrial and logistics capabilities near the Port of Savannah,” said Will Lombard, Senior Vice President with TCC in Atlanta. “For companies seeking a competitive edge in global trade, this development offers unmatched proximity to one of the fastest-growing ports in the U.S., seamless access to major transportation corridors, and the infrastructure needed to scale efficiently in a high-demand market."

Situated along Highway 21, Coastal Trade Center provides convenient access to the major thoroughfares of Interstate 95 and I-16. The development is a short drive from the Port of Savannah, and the Atlanta metro area can be reached by vehicle in less than four hours. A second phase is planned at Coastal Trade Center, which would deliver another three buildings totaling approximately 2.4 million sq. ft. of warehouse space.

The marketing and leasing of Coastal Trade Center are being handled by Bennett Rudder, Chris Tomasulo, Ryan Hoyt, and Lindsey Wilmot of JLL. Other project partners include Evans General Contractors and Atlas Collaborative (architect). For more information about Coastal Trade Center, please visit https://www.coastaltradecenter.com/.
