RICHMOND, Va. and ITASCA, Ill., Sept. 5, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Lingerfelt and Colliers are pleased to announce a 106,376 square-foot lease with PECO Pallet at Port 801, located at 801 Port Walthall Drive, Colonial Heights, VA. The transaction brings Port 801 to full occupancy. PECO Pallet, Inc. is one of North America’s largest providers of rental pallet services to the beverage, grocery, and consumer products industries. The transaction establishes PECO’s primary operating facility serving the greater Richmond business community as well as clients North to Fairfax, Southeast to Norfolk, and West into West Virginia.

PECO is the second of two tenants in operation at Port 801, which is a 239,448 square-foot ground-up speculative industrial warehouse project designed and constructed for Lingerfelt by ARCO Design Build in Q4 of 2022.

“This location provides PECO with the opportunity to establish a showcase facility serving our customers in this region,” said Daric Schafer, PECO’s Senior Director – Depot Operations for the U.S. and Canada. “The modern amenities designed into this facility support our goals to position PECO as a preferred employer providing superior, responsive pallet pooling services.”

Schafer added that the new facility enables PECO to invest in and deploy additional automated sorting equipment to improve safety and operational efficiency, further supporting the organization’s emphasis on sustainability and being a good steward of the environment. PECO previously operated from a site in South Richmond.

Colliers’ Rob Dirom, Wood Thornton, and Frank Hargrove, III handled the transaction on behalf of Lingerfelt. Graham Stoneburner of Cushman & Wakefield | Thalhimer represented PECO.
