AUBURN, WA — Industrial Realty Group LLC (IRG) announces that walls have been fully erected on a 612,000-square-foot build-to-suit project for a Fortune 25 company in Auburn, Washington.

Positioned on approximately 52 acres within Auburn 18 Business Park, this portion of development is moving quickly with completion on track for early 2027.

"We are excited to partner with our new tenant to develop a new project tailored to their specific needs. This project demonstrates our ability to accommodate large-scale build-to-suits at Auburn 18 Business Park," said Coby Holley, Executive Vice President at IRG. "IRG has been able to create synergistic, business-forward development opportunities, and we are grateful to the City of Auburn, who supports that vision."

The 129-acre property is in a prime location between the Ports of Tacoma and Seattle and near Interstate 5. It is dual rail serviced by BNSF and Union Pacific, with the BNSF main switching yard located immediately across the street. The site also features an abundant surplus yard and parking areas, heavy power, and thick slab floors for manufacturing.

Since IRG's acquisition of the property from the U.S. General Services Administration in 2022, the developer has improved many of the existing buildings and removed unusable buildings to create development-ready areas for greater speed to market. With over 1 million square feet of space ready to lease or the option to build up to 1.3 million square feet, the site can support the immediate and long-term business goals of growing companies.
