A joint venture of Mixson Properties, Frampton Strategy Group and Singerman Real Estate has secured $34 million in construction financing for the development of Whitepine Logistics Center, a 498,000-square-foot industrial campus in Richmond, Va.
JLL worked on behalf of the joint venture to secure the note through Texas Capital and will also handle leasing efforts. Other project partners include architecture firm McMillian Pazdan Smith. Construction is set to begin this November, with completion scheduled for early 2026.
The three-building development will feature front-park, rear-load configurations with 32-foot clear heights, designed to accommodate multiple tenants. The 210,600-square-foot Building 1 will have 40 dock-high loading doors with levelers, two drive-in doors, 60 trailer stalls and 185-foot truck courts.

Richmond’s steady industrial sector
The Richmond market saw a 30-basis-point decrease in its industrial vacancy rate from the second to the third quarter of this year, according to a Cushman & Wakefield report. The metro was slow in construction starts, with speculative projects accounting for 30.1 percent of the active pipeline. A total of 1.7 million square feet were absorbed year-to-date as of September.
Earlier this year, LEGO Group broke ground on Meadowville Technology Park, a 1.7 million-square-foot industrial building, according to the same source. The facility is rising on about 340 acres in Chester, Va.
