Construction will soon commence on Edgewood Logistics Center, a 250,800-square-foot warehouse and distribution center project in Jacksonville’s Westside, Florida. The Birmingham-based developer, Graham & Co. recently purchased a 21-acre property and named the warehousing project after the new location. So far, this makes the developer’s third land acquisition in the Westside market since 2021.
Graham is confident in the market potential of the Edgewood Logistics Center and plans to break ground on the project by early 2023. However, the developer is also partnering with a Jacksonville-based investor group led by Sam Easton on the project. The plans felled with the city show a two-building development, featuring 154,800 and 96,000-square-feet buildings. Construction work on the project is expected to reach completion by late 2023.

According to Graham’s V.P, Matthew Graham, the project’s location has tremendous potential as an in-fill site. Despite the construction challenges in recent times, the company felt encouraged, due to the region’s high industrial vacancy rates. Graham also said the market was quite favorable since it easily absorbs the size ranges and quality of spaces they offer.
Design plans for the Edgewood Logistics Center
The Edgewood Logistics Center will have a 32-foot straightforward height design and also include ESFR sprinklers, with concrete tilt-wall construction. These industry factors are particularly important for tenants and users in need of distribution center spaces. Furthermore, the new facility offers users spaces of varying sizes, ranging from 25,000 to 154,800-square-feet.
The Conlan Co. and Randall-Paulson Architects serve as the design/build team for the Edgewood Logistics Center project. England-Thims & Miller is handling the civil engineering aspect, while SouthState Bank will provide construction financing. As for marketing, Mark Scott, John Cole, and Andrew Hawkins of Foundry Commercial will provide this service.
The developers acknowledged that the property acquisition for the Edgewood development was initiated by Foundry’s senior V.P, Mark Scott. Afterward, the property was purchased at $2 million from Easton in July, with OceanSwim LLC representing the seller.
