“One Beeman Rd.’s central location and proximity to New England’s major highway systems make it a very desirable distribution facility for FedEx SmartPost,” said Skeffington. “Stockbridge was able to secure FedEx’s tenancy long-term and successfully execute the disposition to a highly reputable buyer in TH Real Estate.”

One Beeman Rd. is a class A, institutional-quality distribution facility with 104 tailboard doors with cross-dock capability and building clear height up to 33 feet. Located near the intersection of I-495 and the Mass. Pike, the building offers access to the entire region. A tenant since 2001, FedEx recently extended its term through 2023.

According to research from TCG, the Interstate 495 West submarket had 5.4 million s/f of warehouse space with 6% vacancy at the close of first quarter 2017.
