RENO, Nev. — Dermody Properties, a national private equity real estate investment, development and management company focused exclusively on the logistics real estate sector, has leased a portion of LogistiCenter(SM) at 395 Phase II Building I in Reno.

The new customer is Ernest Packaging Solutions (EPS), a family-run business that uses a design-centered approach to engineering packaging and shipping solutions for a wide array of customers.

“We’re happy Ernest chose our facility,” said George Condon, West Region Partner at Dermody Properties. “This building at LogistiCenter at 395 places companies close to employees in North Valleys and Sparks as well as the highway system serving the greater Reno market and the western United States.”

Eric Bennett of CBRE represented Dermody Properties in the lease. Ernest Packaging Solutions was represented by Kelly Nicholls of Lee & Associates.

LogistiCenter at 395 Phase is a multi-phase, master-planned industrial park totaling more than 2.8 million square feet in the North Valleys submarket of Reno-Sparks. The property is just eight miles from Interstate-80, 12 miles from Reno-Tahoe International Airport, and within minutes of three major shipping providers – UPS, FedEx and OnTrac.

“We are pleased to welcome Ernest Packaging Solutions as our newest customer in northern Nevada,” said Timothy Walsh, Partner and Chief Investment Officer at Dermody Properties. “We are confident that this strategic location will further enhance their speed and service capabilities in the western part of the country.”

The remaining available space in the building features a 36-foot clear height, five dock-high doors, 12 trailer stalls, one potential drive-in door and an ESFR fire protection system.

Australian supermarket chain rolls out AI-powered grocery carts

Grocery shoppers in Australia will soon be able to zip in and out of the store in record time, bypassing the lines for cashiers or self-checkout kiosks altogether. They can just walk in, make their selections, and walk out with their bags in hand.

The secret to this express shopping experience is the “Caper Cart,” an AI (artificial intelligence)-powered smart trolley from San Francisco-based Instacart. In its first deployment in the Asia Pacific (APAC) region, the system is being tested by Coles Supermarkets, a food and beverage retailer with more than 1,800 grocery and liquor stores throughout the country.
