“The office will bring about 40 new positions to the Saint Simons area, which will support a newly awarded contract with the United States Transportation Command to handle the logistics and storage of privately-owned vehicles for military personnel in the US, Asia and Europe,” said IAL preisdent and CEO Doug Tipton.
IAL will refurbish the second floor of the two-story, 19,976-square-foot building into Class A office space.
“The South Georgia market continues to see growth throughout the second quarter,” said Mr. Kirk Watson, NGPRG executive vice president, who represented IAL in the transaction. “This lease on St. Simons Island is a further sign that the automotive logistics industry recognizes the strategic value of Southeast Georgia and its growth potential.”
