Mary’s Harvest Fresh Foods, a Portland produce wholesaler, will soon move into new digs in Gresham.

According to public records, general contractor Sierra Construction in July obtained a Gresham building permit for the project, and plans call for completion of the new 130,000-square-foot manufacturing facility and warehouse by the end of 2018.

The site is a 12.06-acre industrial-zone parcel located at 2912 N.E. 172nd Place, off of Northeast Sandy Boulevard. Designs call for a 30-foot-tall building featuring 27 loading bays. Concrete tilt-panel construction will be used. Also, approximately 107 parking spaces are planned.

Immediately to the west, a separate project is being developed on spec by Portland Portal Holdings LLC. Plans call for construction of three warehouses ranging in size from 45,000 to 200,000 square feet.

Industrial development of this type is increasingly being done in east Multnomah County because of the relative scarcity of industrial land elsewhere in the region.

Newport Beach, California-based Panattoni Development is spearheading the Mary’s Harvest project, which has a listed valuation slightly less than $7.8 million. Portland-based Mackenzie designed the building. The property is owned by Mary’s Harvest Development LLC.

A Gresham industrial property has been purchased by a food distributor for a build-to-suit warehouse.

Preliminary plans call for constructing an approximately 135,000-square-foot facility on a 12.6-acre site at the Portland Portal Distribution Center in Gresham.

Panattoni Development agreed to sell the property in a fee development arrangement, according to a CBRE news release. Delivery is expected in early fall 2018.

Panattoni was represented by CBRE Vice President Andy Kangas. The buyer, whose identity was not disclosed, was represented by Rod Brokenshire and Stu Peterson of Macadam Forbes. Terms of the deal were not disclosed.

Located at Northeast 172nd Avenue and Sandy Boulevard, Portland Portal Distribution Center offers access to Interstate 84 and benefits from enterprise zone tax incentives.

Panattoni previously developed speculatively the Big Eddy Commerce Center at Northeast Riverside Parkway. Anixter, a distributor of communications and security products, recently leased 80 percent of the 153,000-square-foot industrial development.
