CenterPoint Properties is gearing up to add 278,700 square feet to the 551,575-square-foot distribution center Penske Logistics just opened up in north Manteca.
CenterPoint indicated the expansion will be completed in 2019 for the footprint that’s ultimately approved to be expanded up to 1.2 million square feet.
The business park is currently advancing plans for a third major distribution center of 746,790 square feet sandwiched between Penkse and 5.11 Tactical that is now 404,657 square feet and can be expanded to 539,057 square feet along Airport Way.
Center Point is also developing a 6.8 acre short-term storage lot for containers and trailers that are transferred to and from Union Pacific Railroad flat cars. It will accommodate 153 trailers and containers and will have a private railroad crossing to the UP intermodal facility.
Under the approved business park plans at least an additional 760,000 square feet of distribution center space can be built besides the ultimate footprint of the three structures. Several years ago Center Point projected they will ultimately invest $175 million in the business park to generate 600 permanent jobs.
