SkyREM retains JLL to market premier industrial facility in Meriden, Connecticut

MERIDEN, CT, Feb. 19, 2025 – JLL announced today it has been retained by SkyREM as the exclusive leasing agent for 160 Corporate Court, a 241,333-square-foot industrial facility located in Meriden, Connecticut.

Positioned on 27.01 acres, the facility offers state-of-the-art cross-dock loading, 50 dock-high doors, a drive-in door, and rooftop solar panels. It features 22-24 ft. clear ceiling heights, six-inch concrete slab flooring, insulated metal panel walls, and is fully powered by a rooftop solar system.

Originally built in 1987 and renovated in 2019, ownership has begun the process of completing a number of physical improvements to the building, including refreshing the facility's exterior/interior with new paint, replacing all loading dock doors and installing new LED lighting.

“160 Corporate Court represents a prime opportunity for tenants seeking a net zero, energy-efficient, high-quality logistics hub in the Northeast,” said Jared Zolna, Vice President of Asset Management at SkyREM.

“With its extensive dock loading capabilities, sustainability features, and premier location, we anticipate strong demand for this space.”

The JLL Northeast Industrial leasing team is led by Vice Chairman James M. Panczykowski and Vice President Zach Antonucci.

“Given the current industrial market trends, 160 Corporate Court offers an unparalleled opportunity for logistics and distribution operators,” said Panczykowski. “Its modern infrastructure, accessibility, and sustainable features make it a premier location for companies looking to expand their footprint.”

According to JLL Research, the Connecticut industrial market delivered an all-time high of 3.3 million square feet of new inventory in 2024. However, more than three million square feet of that was preleased and only 250,000 square feet is currently under construction. As a result, 2024 absorption was near an all-time high, totalling 1.6 million square feet in 2024. The market is seeing continued tightening as new development remains challenging due to higher interest rates and a scarcity of well-located land zoned for industrial facilities.

160 Corporate Court is located in the heart of Connecticut, making it an ideal hub for distributing goods throughout the state and New England. The city of Meriden is intersected by Interstates 91, 691, and the Wilbur Cross Parkway (Route 15), providing easy access to major markets including Hartford, New Haven, New York City, and Boston. Meriden also offers freight rail access, and is proximate to deep-water ports in New Haven, Bridgeport, and New London to facilitate shipping and receiving goods.

Added Panczykowski, “With Boston, New York City, and Providence all nearby, Meriden provides access to millions of consumers and businesses along the Eastern Seaboard with a price advantage compared to other parts of the Northeast. We are extremely excited about bringing this opportunity to the market.”
