Atlanta is the logistics hub of the Southeast, with three interstate highways, two Class 1 rail lines, four intermodal terminals and the busiest airport in the world. With 550 million square feet of industrial real estate, the Atlanta market is also the largest industrial market in the region. With population growth ranking second in the U.S., Atlanta's need for industrial real estate continues to increase.
Including our one billion dollar acquisition of properties from Duke Realty, First Industrial Realty Trust currently owns and manages millions of square feet of industrial real estate in the region. Our Atlanta regional team has extensive local market expertise in leasing, development and acquisitions.
The team has recently developed the 915,000 square foot First Park Terminus industrial park in Lithia Springs, GA.
