EQT Exeter, which specializes in big box warehouses and multi-tenant industrial space, purchased the property through Exeter 2983 Faye LLC on Wednesday, according to the records.

Plans from last year show a 116,640 square-foot expansion north of an already-existing 234,000-square-foot warehouse used by Loctek at 2983 Faye Road were in the works.

Loctek, through 6075 Lance LLC, purchased the 75-acre property for $15.9 million in January 2023. Approximately 16.45 acres are zoned for heavy industrial.

The property neighbors GE Distribution Center and is also near Blount Island.
