$34M in construction financing arranged for Whitepine Logistics Center in Richmond, VA

CHARLOTTE, Oct. 16, 2024 –  JLL Capital Markets announced today it arranged $34 million in construction financing for the development of Whitepine Logistics Center, a three-building Class A industrial project located in Richmond, Virginia.

JLL worked on behalf of a joint venture between Mixson Properties, Frampton Strategy Group and Singerman Real Estate to secure the financing through Texas Capital.

The project, totaling 498,000 square feet, will feature front-parked, rear-loaded tilt wall construction shells with 32-foot clear heights, designed to accommodate multi-tenant configurations. The joint venture closed the loan with a shovel-ready site, marking an impressive start to the project.

Located at 8800 Whitepine Road, the logistics center is strategically positioned in the southwest submarket of Richmond, Virginia. The city's unique location at the intersection of three major highways (I-95, I-85 and I-64) offers exceptional access to key metropolitan areas including Washington, DC, Raleigh-Durham, Charlotte and Atlanta. Additionally, Richmond's extensive network of over 57,000 miles of state highways allows businesses to reach 75% of the U.S. population within a 48-hour drive.

The JLL Debt Advisory team was led by Managing Director Taylor Allison, Senior Director Reina Abboud and Analyst Jovi Rodriguez. JLL's local Richmond team, comprised of Managing Directors Muscoe Garnett and Jake Servinsky and Senior Vice President Adam Lawson, will spearhead the leasing efforts for the project.

“Whitepine Logistics Center's delivery is strategically timed to coincide with a period of compressed supply and strong demand in the Richmond market,” said Allison. “We anticipate that this state-of-the-art industrial hub will attract a diverse range of businesses seeking to establish or expand their presence in the Richmond area.”
