Cushman & Wakefield’s South Florida Industrial Team has brought Cypress Pointe Distribution Center to full occupancy securing two leases totaling ±153,495 square feet at the recently-completed warehouse and distribution center.
The Cushman & Wakefield team of Chris Metzger, Rick Etner Jr., Christopher Thomson, Matt McAllister, and Merritt Etner secured the leases with JFC International, Inc. and Reload Floating Energy on behalf of building owner Link Logistics.
JFC International, Inc. leased ±87,189 square feet in the building. The company is a subsidiary of Kikkoman Corporation, a food distributor with more than a century of experience delivery healthy, safe, high-quality Asian food products across North America from a network of strategically located distribution centers. JFC International, Inc. is relocating its existing Pompano Beach sales office and warehouse to Cypress Pointe Distribution Center.
CBRE’s Mike Oretsky, Tom O’Loughlin, and Larry Genet represented JFC International, Inc. in the lease negotiations.
Reload Floating Energy is an affiliate of Pompano Beach-based AccuSolar and subsidiary of AccuDock, the leading residential and commercial floating dock manufacturer in the world. The company leased ±66,756 square feet at Cypress Pointe Distribution Center.
Reload Floating Energy will utilize the space at Cypress Pointe Distribution Center for the manufacturing, warehousing, and distribution of AccuSolar products. AccuSolar builds on AccuDock’s 25-year history of floating product design and manufacturing, bringing the concept of floating structures into the renewable energy market with innovative approaches to utilize bodies of water for large utility scale floating solar installations. The technology was recently implemented in a one megawatt floating solar array at Tampa Electric’s (TECO) Big Bend Facility.
Berger Commercial’s Jonathan Thiel and Keith Graves represented Reload Floating Energy in the lease negotiations.
Cypress Pointe Distribution Center is located at 1800 SW 13th Court in Pompano Beach. The ±153,496-square-foot facility was built in 2021 and features 32-foot clear ceiling heights, an ESFR (Early Suppression, Fast Response) fire safety system, energy-efficient LED lighting, 40 dock-high doors, two drive-in doors, 54-foot by 193-foot bay sizes, 54-foot by 44.5-foot column spacing, a 4,000 PSI floor load rating, and a 120-foot truck court. The site is zoned I-1 by the City of Pompano Beach.
Cypress Pointe Distribution Center is ideally located between Interstate 95 and Florida’s Turnpike. This geographically central position within the market provides exceptional access to the entirety of South Florida’s tri-county area of Miami-Dade, Broward, and Palm Beach Counties.
“JFC International and Reload Floating Energy rely heavily upon their warehouse and distribution networks to efficiently deliver their product,” said Metzger. “Cypress Pointe Distribution Center was a great match for both companies, offering state-of-the-art space in a tremendous central location.”
The seven-member South Florida Industrial team led by Metzger, Etner, and Thomson negotiated just over 17 million square feet of sale and lease transactions valued at more than $593 million in 2021. For more information, please visit www.
