Newmark Grubb Knight Frank (NGKF) is pleased to announce that Senior Managing Director Eustace Wolfington and Director Chris Kutzler have recently closed two industrial sales transactions totaling more than $7 million near the Philadelphia International Airport.
The Philadelphia International Airport area draws the attention of many distribution businesses because of its close proximity to Center City Philadelphia, Delaware, and Southern New Jersey, as well as major highways (I-95, I-76, I- 476) and the Philadelphia International Airport for shipping and receiving goods. This location was a perfect fit for the two businesses that purchased 7625 Suffolk Avenue, a 104,000-square-foot warehouse that sold for $3.475 million and the 84,471-square-foot warehouse sold at 3601 Island Avenue for $3.4 million.
Wolfington and Kutzler represented the buyer Powers Court Partners LLC with the purchase of 7625 Suffolk Avenue. The building was purchased for a Class A East Coast food “dinner kit” processing and distribution facility.
The same NGKF industrial team of Wolfington and Kutzler represented the seller Pennock Company at 3601 Island Avenue, where they sold the 84,471-square-foot building to Sixt Rent A Car for $3.4 million. Sixt is a high-end car rental organization that has locations at many major airports and popular tourist destinations across the U.S. With this acquisition, the company plans to open its first Philadelphia location. The proximity to the airport and numerous tourist attractions, as well as the large parking capacity, made this building an ideal location for Sixt.
