Jones Lang LaSalle Americas, Inc.

The Property is 100% leased to CertainTeed, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Saint-Gobain (EPA: SGO | S&P: BBB+), under a new 10-year lease with 2.5% annual rent escalations, providing investors with secure long-term cash flow and consistent income growth from an established global operator. The facility directly supports and services the adjacent Saint-Gobain manufacturing operation, reinforcing its strategic importance and long-term tenancy profile. Saint-Gobain is a global construction and manufacturing company specializing in the production of construction materials – most recently posting over $50 billion in net sales in FY2025.

The Property has been the beneficiary of significant capital improvements from Ownership, including a new 60 mil TPO roof overlay under warranty through 2046, along with efficient motion-sensored lighting throughout. Furthermore, the Property is positioned less than two (2) miles from I-40, providing national and regional connectivity to various cities including Greensboro-Winston-Salem, Raleigh-Durham and Charlotte. Tenants of the corridor enjoy direct access to all major regional thoroughfares, including I-77, US-321 and I-85, the industrial backbone of the Southeast. Additionally, the Property is priced well below replacement cost, presenting investors with compelling value compared to new construction in today’s elevated cost environment. The Class B Catawba County industrial market continues to demonstrate strong fundamentals, sporting an average 10-year occupancy rate of more than 97% and robust rental rate growth of over 166.5% since 2022.
