Large Warehouse In East Windsor Now Fully Leased

EAST WINDSOR, CT — A large industrial warehouse in the East Windsor Industrial Park is now fully leased and is undergoing extensive renovation, according to its new owner.

Wharton Industrial, a platform of real estate investment firm Wharton Equity Partners, has leased the entirety of its 279,256 square-foot warehouse at 18 Craftsman Road to BlueTriton Brands, Inc. — formerly known as Nestle Waters North America — just months after Wharton’s acquisition of the property in Oct. 2021.

The warehouse was purchased in a joint venture with Boston-based Long Wharf Capital. Originally constructed in 1979, the property features 18-to 20-foot clear heights; six tailgates; two drive-in doors; over 300 parking spaces; and 5,000 square feet of office space. It is currently undergoing an extensive renovation, including the installation of energy-efficient LED lighting throughout the warehouse, the re-paving of the entire building’s exterior truck court and parking lots, and the addition of several truck loading doors.

The renovations are anticipated to be complete in February, after which BlueTriton will occupy the premises and begin its warehousing and distribution operations.

"Wharton acquired this strategically located property with a clear investment thesis in mind — enhancing it to maximize the site’s tremendous potential and better serve the expanding list of tenants seeking space in East Windsor and Greater Hartford. Even without being complete, the results of our ongoing repositioning plan and the strong marketing campaign that CBRE created allowed us to pre-lease the building much sooner than anticipated," said Scott Guo, head of acquisitions for Wharton Industrial. "We’re excited to welcome BlueTriton to this property and look forward to realizing the growing value to be captured in this fast-rising industrial market."
