Pactra International Co., a South Korea-based logistics operator, has taken over an entire warehouse at the International Commerce Center in Adairsville, Georgia, yanking a 691,667-square-foot cross-dock facility off the market and adding another global player to the greater Atlanta industrial corridor. The massive site sits along the busy I-75 freight route in northwest Georgia.
According to CoStar, Pactra will occupy the building at 7634 Highway 140, a property previously associated with BroadRange Logistics. The outlet credits brokerage teams from JLL and BroadPoint Partners on the transaction and identifies the property as the International Commerce Center in Adairsville. CoStar reports that its coverage of the deal ran Tuesday and names the brokers tied to the lease.
Property and ownership
Strategic Real Estate Partners describes the International Commerce Center as a 691,667-square-foot, 40-foot-clear cross-dock facility delivered in May 2023. The developer lists PGIM as a development partner and highlights the site's heavy trailer capacity and nearly 400 auto parking stalls, specs aimed squarely at regional distribution and full-trailer operations.
Brokers and representation
CoStar identifies JLL executive managing director Ryan Hoyt and senior vice president Ben Pridemore as lead brokers on the deal, with BroadPoint Partners' Scott Plomgren and McCulley Elsasser listed as marketing contacts. Those teams have been active across northwest Georgia's industrial leasing and investment scene, particularly on large-format product in the I-75 corridor.
Why Adairsville
The warehouse sits just off I-75 in Bartow County, plugging directly into a freight corridor that serves both Atlanta and the Port of Savannah. Marketing materials and listings on LoopNet emphasize interstate access as a key selling point, a major reason import-oriented logistics operators keep circling northwest Georgia for distribution hubs.
What this means
Pactra already runs distribution capacity in Georgia, and Trade & Industry Development notes that Pactra and Hankook Tire share a roughly 502,854-square-foot spec building in the state. That existing presence makes the Adairsville lease an expansion of the firm's regional footprint. Trade & Industry Development lists Pactra as a tenant at major Georgia logistics parks and documents the company's role in tire distribution throughout the Southeast, a segment industry watchers say helps keep northwest Georgia competitive for large, import-driven warehouses.
Strategic Real Estate Partners reports that the International Commerce Center was delivered on speculation in May 2023. Landing a single tenant for the full building underscores steady demand for new, large-format industrial space in the northwest Georgia submarket.
