Linda Daniels and Associates, a full-service commercial real estate brokerage firm, today announced the successful facilitation of a $15 million transaction for 65.3 acres of waterfront industrial property at 8730 Somers Road. An affiliate of InLight Real Estate Partners, based in Ponte Vedra Beach, purchased the property from Container Land Associates, L.P.; the transaction closed on December 28, 2021.

Demand for industrial properties remains high in Jacksonville, due in part to the rapid growth of warehouses to support e-commerce and changes to consumer behaviors throughout the ongoing pandemic. Container Land Associates, L.P. originally planned to lease the property; however, market conditions led to a mutually beneficial sale opportunity.

“It is an exciting time in the industrial real estate sector, and our team was honored to work with both the seller and buyer to facilitate a smooth closing,” said Linda Daniels, CCIM, Founding Principal of Linda Daniels and Associates. “By working closely with InLight and Container Land Associates, L.P., we were able to negotiate an agreement that made financial sense for both parties. We look forward to seeing how this land will be used in the future to support Jacksonville’s continued growth as an industrial and logistics leader.”

InLight plans to utilize the space for heavy outdoor storage to support the growing needs of the Port and industrial logistics community in Jacksonville. This can include shipping container storage, tractor trailer parking and chassis storage.

Two tenants are currently leasing space on the property and will remain in place. Guy Preston and Seda Preston with Colliers in Jacksonville will oversee leasing at the property on behalf of InLight.

“Since launching our company in 2021, we have focused on identifying opportunities to invest in Northeast Florida’s industrial market. This property is well-positioned to support a variety of users, and the existing tenant leases provide built-in value. Working with Linda and her team to facilitate this transaction was a positive experience, and one that immediately enhances our portfolio,” said Jeff Berryhill, a Founder and Managing Partner of InLight Real Estate Partners.
