Dermody Properties Breaks Ground on 22.7 Acres in West Sacramento for LogistiCenter℠ at Southport

SACRAMENTO, Calif. — Dermody Properties, a national private equity real estate investment, development and management company focused exclusively on the logistics real estate sector, recently acquired 22.7 acres in West Sacramento, Calif. The new LogistiCenter(SM) at Southport will be a 379,161-square-foot, cross-dock industrial building. Dermody Properties, working with Deacon Construction as the general contractor, and with local development partners Tom Schaal and Mark Heavey, recently broke ground on the property. Construction is expected to be complete in the first quarter of next year.

Strategically located within Southport Business Park, a 650-acre, master-planned business park, the property will be set up to attract companies looking to target northern California and the western United States. Its location will provide easy access to Interstate-80, Interstate-5, Highway 50 and Highway 99.


“West Sacramento is an ideal location for e-commerce and distribution companies looking to target the greater Sacramento area and the western United States,” said George Condon, West Region Partner for Dermody Properties. “The area is also attractive to customers looking to escape the higher costs of operating in the Bay Area.”

Mike Lyons of CBRE is representing Dermody Properties as the listing broker for LogistiCenter at Southport.

Once complete, the building will offer a 36-foot clear height, 58 dock high doors, four drive-in doors, 106 trailer stalls, 222 car parking stalls and a 135-foot truck court. Plans also include an ESFR fire protection system and a seven-inch concrete floor with concrete tilt walls, as well as build-to-suit office space.

“LogistiCenter at Southport will offer our customers a state-of-the-art building in a location with prime access to major western markets,” said Timothy Walsh, Partner and Chief Investment Officer at Dermody Properties. “We’ve seen a steady increase in demand in this area. We plan to continue to expand our reach in distribution-dominated industrial markets such as this one that are valuable to our customers.”

LogistiCenter, a nationally trademarked brand owned and developed by Dermody Properties, represents the company’s business philosophy of developing Class-A distribution and logistics facilities that meet the supply-chain requirements of the most innovative companies.

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.

How green is your glue?

If you’re looking to make the packaging process more eco-friendly, the obvious place to start is with the box itself. And that’s exactly what Salt Lake City-based Packsize did when it made its initial foray into sustainable packaging back in 2002. That year, the company launched its first product, an innovative on-demand packaging system designed to reduce cardboard waste (and the need for filler material) by creating a right-sized box for each shipment.

Now the company is ready for the next step: greening up the glue.
