Shore Manufacturing expands Jacksonville operations, adds more more industrial space (Courtesy of the Jacksonville Business Journal) — A manufacturer in Jacksonville is adding to its presence here with a major commitment for more space.
Shore Manufacturing — a manufacturer of custom sanitary wipes and nonwoven cleaning products serving the foodservice, janitorial and industrial sectors — has signed a lease for 86,374 square feet of industrial space at 5245 Commonwealth Ave. in Jacksonville, according to an announcement from NAI Hallmark.
The space is at Commonwealth Business Center, which NAI Hallmark describes as a strategically located distribution and manufacturing facility on the Westside.
Located approximately 1.5 miles from both Interstate 10 and Interstate 295, 5245 Commonwealth Ave. offers access to Jacksonville’s transportation network, including Jaxport, Jacksonville International Airport and the region’s extensive logistics infrastructure.
The property features abundant trailer and automobile parking, clear heights ranging from 20 to 30 feet, extensive dock-high loading capabilities, and access to a strong labor pool.
The transaction marks a significant expansion for the company as it continues to grow its operations and strengthen its presence throughout Northeast Florida. The facility will serve as Shore Manufacturing’s second Jacksonville location, complementing its existing headquarters and warehouse operations at 2145 Dennis St.
The expansion provides the company with additional capacity to support its continued growth and operational needs in the region, the announcement said.
“Shore Manufacturing’s continued growth is a testament to the strength of Jacksonville’s industrial market and the city’s advantages as a manufacturing and distribution hub,” said Jason Purdy, vice president at NAI Hallmark, in the release. “This facility provides the operational efficiencies, accessibility, and scalability necessary to support Shore’s expanding customer base and long-term business objectives.”
NAI Hallmark’s Purdy and Camden Padgett represented Shore Manufacturing in the lease transaction. Tyler Newman of Cushman & Wakefield represented the landlord, Ranger Commonwealth LLC.
Founded in 2013, Shore Manufacturing specializes in custom-made sanitary wipes and cleaning solutions for nationally recognized brands across the restaurant and foodservice industries.
