MIAMI, Dec. 11, 2025 – JLL Capital Markets announced today the sale of the First Solar Panel Distribution Hub, a state-of-the-art 554,023-square-foot distribution facility in Trinity, Alabama.

JLL represented the seller, Ambrose Property Group, in the transaction.

Located at 1250 Cooperage Way, the newly constructed build-to-suit facility is fully leased to First Solar Inc., a leading manufacturer of solar panels and utility-scale photovoltaic power plants. The Class A distribution center sits just two miles north of First Solar's $1.1 billion solar panel manufacturing facility, making it mission critical to the tenant's operations. The facility serves as a regional distribution hub for photovoltaic solar panels and provides essential storage for new equipment, raw materials including glass and silicon wafers and components requiring retrofitting or repair.

The property features a 40-foot clear height, 41 dock-high doors, two drive-in doors and a 150-foot truck court with 60-foot concrete apron. The cross-dock configuration accommodates 36 trailer spots with capacity for up to 100. Additional features include motion-sensored LED lighting, ESFR sprinkler systems and 80 auto parking spaces on a 40.3-acre site.

Trinity is located within the Huntsville metropolitan statistical area, the 15th fastest-growing MSA in the United States. The property benefits from strategic transportation access via Route 72, providing connections to Interstate 65 and Interstate 565. This positioning enables efficient distribution across Alabama and major metropolitan areas within a seven-hour drive, including Atlanta, Nashville, Memphis and New Orleans.

The JLL Capital Markets team was led by Senior Managing Director and Industrial Group Co-Lead John Huguenard, Director Will McCormack and Managing Director Jim Freeman.

“We are excited to see what is in store for some of the longer-duration lease deals over the coming months and into 2026,” said Huguenard. “The declining rate environment and strong equity markets have us bullish on liquidity for longer-term deals, and we feel this represents the start of more similar deals to come.”
