Fowler-based G3 has completed construction on a new 310,000sf tilt-up warehouse that has been built “on spec” in the Visalia Industrial Park. The big building was just recently finished, says broker Ethan Smith.”The phone has been ringing but we have no one under contract yet” says Smith. The complex with 380 parking places and 46 loading docks is located at 30152 Road 84, Kelsey, between Hurley Ave and Goshen Ave.
The new shell building adds to the inventory of several other large industrial buildings here.. There are several available in the Visalia industrial Park, but this offers more opportunity to snag new companies who want to choose which size works for them in what has become more of a buyers market.
Smith says activity in the industrial park started out more active at the first of the year, but has since slowed due to uncertainty in the economy.
