Procter & Gamble Leases 1.2 Million SF

Consumer Products Company Inks Big Deal with Trammell Crow in Gateway Commerce Center







Proctor & Gamble (P&G) has leased 1.2 million square feet of distribution space at Gateway Commerce Center in Edwardsville, IL.



The consumer products giant will take occupancy of about 580,00 square feet at 3101 Westway Drive, but will have to wait until the building is expanded later this year to occupy the remainder of its space. The first phase of the property completed last year.



The 2,300-acre Gateway Commerce Center has more than 10 million square feet of distribution space. It could total 23 million square feet at full build-out.



The P&G lease is valued at more than $15 million over its term, which was not disclosed. P&G owns consumer products brands including Folgers, Tide, Pepto-Bismol, Pampers, Oral-B and Duracell.



Terry Stieve at Colliers Turley Martin Tucker represented Proctor & Gamble in the lease, while Ed Lampitt of CB Richard Ellis (now with Colliers Turley Martin Tucker) represented the landlord, Trammell Crow.

What surprises me is not that P&G is taking a million feet, but that the whole 23 million is not built yet. That warehouse park is absolutely perfect in my opinion for companies wanting distribution centers.



But, good for the Metro East. More jobs.

The industrial spec market is in a very large slump right now with many companies trying to fill existing buildings and waiting until a tenant is found before new construction begins - I work with this every day.
