DALLAS, TX – (December 20 , 2024) – Sealy & Company, a leading real estate investment and services firm, announces the acquisition of two Class-A warehouse/distribution centers in the Memphis, Tennessee market. The strategic addition enhances Sealy & Company’s footprint in the Memphis industrial market and upholds the company’s long-term growth strategy of acquiring high-quality assets in strong logistics hubs. Purchased at a significant discount to replacement cost, this transaction is a testament to Sealy & Company’s disciplined approach focused on securing long-term value.

The newly acquired properties, 1660 Stateline Road E, Southaven, MS, and 12914 Stateline Road E, Olive Branch, MS, represent a combined 589,598 SF of modern industrial space. Both facilities are built with a focus on high-end design and flexibility to meet the demands of today’s logistics and distribution operators.

1660 Stateline Road E, a 347,604 SF facility, features a rear-load configuration, 32-foot clear heights, and a secure 185-foot truck court with a 60-foot concrete apron. The fully fenced property includes multi-tenant potential, with three storefronts and office space in one section. Located in the covenant-controlled Stateline Business Park, which spans 230 acres and over 4 million square feet of Class-A industrial space and is home to notable tenants such as DHL, GXO (a division of FSP), ScanSource, and Fresenius.

12914 Stateline Road E, a 241,994 SF facility, offers similar premium specifications, including a rear-load configuration, 32-foot clear heights, and a fully fenced and gated property with secure access. The facility features a 180-foot truck court with a 50-foot concrete apron and HVAC throughout 100% of the warehouse, ensuring operational efficiency.

Located within the DeSoto Submarket, these properties capitalize on Memphis’ reputation as one of the top logistics hubs in the world.
