CenterPoint builds Texas DC for ACE Hardware

· Thursday, March 21, 2013

   CenterPoint Properties broke ground this week on a new ACE Hardware distribution center at Wilmer, Texas.
   The 450,000-square-foot facility will be situated on 31.3 acres within the 59.9-acre Sunridge Business Park.
   The facility will be leased by ACE for 10 years, and is located about 10 miles outside Dallas, along the LBJ Freeway (Interstate-45). The site is also positioned a half mile from Union Pacific’s Dallas intermodal hub. ACE estimates it will bring in about 3,000 containers annually from this terminal.
   The facility is scheduled to be completed by February 2014. This is the second development CenterPoint will construct for the shipper. A 336,000-square-foot facility was completed for ACE in May 2012 at the CenterPoint Intermodal Center in Suffolk, Va.
