A broker contact of mine was interested in locating a distribution center for the company Bare Escentuals in Louisville, Cincinnati, or Columbus, Ohio. The target size was 300,000 square feet and it was a fast-track project; the company was hopeful that they could explore the best options in each city, could arrange for a two-day visit during which all possible locations could be physically inspected, and that within 30 days of site visits, a decision could be made.
I made all arrangements for Cincinnati, engaged team members for Columbus and Louisville, and in 24 hours, had the trip arranged, complete with meals en route. The tour took place flawlessly the last week of August and the company remarked later that every one of the 22 sites visited could have worked.
I arranged for the proper market information to be compiled and sent to the company to assist in determining which city would be chosen. Within a week of the initial tour, the Columbus market was chosen, and RFPs went out to two facilities at the end of September. The result? Leases were executed for occupancy in a Kirco facility in Columbus.
