Matan Companies Enters Richmond Market

RICHMOND, VA April 14, 2021 - JLL announces today it has been retained by Matan Companies to oversee the industrial leasing of a new five-building industrial development in Hanover County, Virginia. This will be the Maryland-based developer’s first entry into the Richmond industrial market. Upon completion in mid-2022, Northlake II will include approximately 655,000 square feet of Class A industrial product.

"We are really excited to partner with Matan to bring this well-positioned, high quality development to the market. Based upon strong demand, we expect a swift lease-up,” said Chris Avellana, Vice President, JLL. “What’s missing right now for prospective tenants who need smaller blocks of space is high quality, new product. We will be able to accommodate requirements from approximately 20,000 square feet to over 100,000 square feet. With many of the new deliveries limited to companies requiring 100,000+ square feet or greater, Matan’s development approach will be incredibly meaningful here.”

Matan will commence sitework on the first three buildings in May 2021 with delivery scheduled for Spring 2022. Future tenants can expect 32-foot clear ceiling heights, ample dock-high door counts, dedicated trailer drop area, as well as superb access to the I-95 corridor.

“We have had our eye on Richmond,” noted Jamie Minkler, Director of Acquisitions, Matan Companies. “The new distribution projects that have been built over the past few years have put the market on the map from a supply chain perspective. We believe the market fundamentals are incredibly strong and we look forward to this being the first of many investments we make here in the community.”

JLL’s Gareth Jones, Chris Avellana and Charlie Polk will handle the leasing efforts for Matan at Northlake.
