A fund sponsored by CBRE Global Investors has acquired a 421,470-square-foot Class A logistics property in Memphis, Tennessee. The facility is located at 6200 Global Drive in Memphis’ Southeast submarket and is majority leased by DHL.

The property, known as Memphis Global Crossing, sits on nearly 24 acres and was delivered in 2019. Features of the facility include 32’ clear height; 46’8” x 50’ column spacing with 60’ speed bays; 125 dock doors with two drive-in doors; 119 trailer parking spaces and 204 car parking spaces with three points of egress; and an ESFR fire protection system.

“Memphis is a key distribution hub, serving more major markets overnight than any other city in the U.S.,” said James Munsell of CBRE Global Investors. “Memphis Global Crossing is strategically located in the Southeast submarket, which affords users sought-after access to a multi-modal transportation network that includes a leading world cargo hub, five separate rail systems, three interstates, seven federal highways and the International Port of Memphis, which is the fifth largest inland port in the country. We believe that the location is ideal for both domestic and international users looking to expand their logistics footprint.”

Memphis Global Crossing is located off Route 78, a major east/west thoroughfare in Memphis connecting the property to the FedEx World Hub at the Memphis International Airport (8 miles); the BNSF Railway intermodal yard, the largest intermodal railroad in the U.S. (3 miles); and the area’s labor markets.
