First Solar’s recent 1.3 million-square-foot lease at Cherokee Commerce Center 85 (CCC-85), the new industrial park developed by Taylor Johnson client Glenstar Logistics, marks one of the largest manufacturing commitments in the Southeast this year. As part of our media outreach on the notable deal, we highlighted how Glenstar’s early bet on the Interstate 85 corridor, combined with a targeted strategy to attract power-intensive users seeking speed-to-market and future expansion capacity, positioned CCC-85 as an ideal choice for First Solar. We also called out how the $330 million domestic manufacturing facility is expected to create more than 600 jobs. To date, resulting coverage of the transaction has appeared in American Journal of Transportation, Commercial Property Executive, Connect CRE Atlanta & Southeast , SCBIZ and REBusinessOnline.
