Dermody Properties, a national private equity real estate investment, development and management company focused exclusively on the logistics real estate sector, is pleased to announce the acquisition of 49 acres in the North Bay which will be developed into five buildings totaling more than 700,000 square feet of logistics space. Known as LogistiCenter℠ at Fairfield, groundbreaking is expected later this year with delivery in Q3 2022.

“Fairfield is one of the most business-friendly cities in the Greater Bay Area,” said George Condon, West Region Partner at Dermody Properties. “The labor pool is one of the strongest in the region and rental rates are approximately 40% less than rental rates along the 880-Corridor.”

All five buildings are available for pre-leasing. Matt Bracco, Glen Dowling and Chris Neeb of JLL will represent Dermody Properties in all leasing activity.

The industrial park, located at Beck Avenue and Cordelia Road, will feature five buildings ranging from 82,620 square feet to 259,200 square feet. Highlights include 32’-36’ of clear height, at least 50’ x 50’ column spacing and ample car and trailer parking. Each building will be equipped with an ESFR fire protection system and accommodate between 14 and 38 dock high doors.

The San Francisco, Oakland and Sacramento International Airports are located within a 60-mile radius, along with the Ports of Richmond, Oakland and Stockton. The site offers direct access to and is less than half a mile from Highway 12, and Interstate 80 is within two and a half miles of the property.

“At Dermody Properties, our strategy is always customer-focused and includes sourcing and developing the best space for their needs,” said Tim Walsh, Partner and Chief Investment Officer at Dermody Properties. “LogistiCenter℠ at Fairfield is in an ideal location that offers excellent proximity for a last-mile facility and a strong concentration of industrial labor.”

Loren Swakow announces retirement as managing director of NOBLELIFT North America

Des Plaines, Illinois – Loren Swakow, Managing Director of NOBLELIFT North America, has announced his retirement effective January 31st, 2025, leaving behind a legacy of unprecedented growth, innovation, and strong relationships built over nearly a decade at the helm of the company.

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.
