Newmark Grubb Knight Frank (NGKF) is pleased to announce that Senior Managing Directors Mike Davidson, Chris Dowell and Dan Labes have completed a 154,377-square-foot lease to Anji Logistics USA, Inc. at 13301 Stephens Road in Warren, Michigan on behalf of the owner, Schostak Brothers & Company, Inc. Occupying 100 percent of the property, Anji Logistics signed the long-term lease to serve as its first location in the U.S. and to serve as the firm’s North American headquarters.
“We are pleased to have represented ownership in this significant lease transaction in Macomb County, bringing the building’s occupancy to 100 percent,” said Davidson. “Ownership purchased 13301 Stephens Road as an investment with the goal of finding a long-term, quality tenant to lease the entire building.” NGKF provided a short-term solution, leasing 75,000 square feet of the property in July 2016 to a smaller local warehouser with the option to terminate the lease if a tenant was found to lease the entire building. “We are thrilled to have used our resources and creativity to accomplish the ultimate goal for our client,” added Davidson.
13301 Stephens Road is a 154,377-square-foot industrial warehouse and distribution facility located in Warren, Michigan, minutes from I-696 and I-94. The property features 12,000 square feet of office space, 20 docks and 23’ clearance.
