Deutsche Finance America and March Capital Management Announce Ground Breaking of Large Industrial Park off State Highway 45 in Creedmoor, Texas
AUSTIN (May 2, 2024) – March Capital Management (“MCM”) in partnership with Deutsche Finance America (“DFA”) announce the acquisition, capitalization, and ground breaking of the initial phase of a large industrial development located off State Highway 45 Southeast in Creedmoor, Texas. This marks the commencement of 45 Logistics South, a planned industrial park, set to feature five state-of-the-art warehouse buildings and cover an expansive area that will deliver approximately 900,000 rentable square feet.
The initial phase introduces two buildings, totaling around 400,000 square feet, situated adjacent to Interstate State Highway 45 (SHI-45) and just east of Interstate 35 (I-35). This strategic location services the Austin metro area and is a 20-minute drive to the airport and Tesla Gigafactory Texas.
Bora Ozturk, Principal and Co-Founder of MCM, expressed enthusiasm about the joint venture, emphasizing its alignment with the firms' confidence in the Austin market and the evolving landscape of industrial properties across Texas. "We are committed to addressing the heightened manufacturing and logistics demands in Austin and supporting the city's growing population," Ozturk remarked.
Echoing this sentiment, Jason Lucas, Co-Founder and CEO at DFA, shared his excitement about the partnership with MCM. " This venture marks DFA's first step into the industrial sector, a move we approach with great anticipation and confidence. It represents a tremendous investment opportunity for our investors but also signals the start of what we foresee as a sustained focus on the logistics space, promising growth and innovation for DFA in the years to come," said Lucas.
This development represents a significant step forward in meeting the increasing manufacturing needs of the Austin area and contributes to the broader economic growth of Texas. The project underscores the partners' dedication to innovative industrial solutions and their positive impact on local communities.
