Branded as New Kent Logistics Center, the project will consist of two million s/f of high-bay industrial space in four buildings. Located ad- jacent to AutoZone’s 800,000 s/f east coast distribution cen- ter and less than a mile from the planned Buc-ees, Matan will be moving forward with entitlement and approvals for the initial building, totaling over one million s/f. “New Kent Logistics Center is ideally located between Richmond and Hampton Roads, two of the healthi- est industrial submarkets in the country,” said Jamie Minkler , managing director for the Matan Companies. “The site represents one of a dwindling supply of large sites zoned by-right for industrial and distribution users. With speed-to-market being key to user’s selection criteria, our plan to get the one million s/f building shovel-ready will make the site extremely at- tractive to a wide variety of potential tenants.” Matan will be managing the property in-house.
