Shannon, GA

BEACHWOOD, OHIO (January 23, 2026) – A joint venture between Tramview Capital Management (“Tramview”) and OpenPath Investments recently completed the acquisition of a 568,516 SF bulk industrial warehouse property on a ~46.5-acre site (“Property”) located in Shannon, GA within the Greater Atlanta MSA, near the heavily trafficked I-75 corridor. The Greater Atlanta MSA industrial market is a top logistics and distribution hub with world-class multimodal infrastructure, enabling efficient movement of goods to over 80% of the U.S. population within a two-day truck drive or two-hour flight. The Property is situated in the Rome industrial submarket, a resilient regional hub for manufacturing and logistics with tight vacancy rates and no new competitive supply currently under construction. The Rome submarket benefits from a diverse employment base and major employers, offering users low-cost, efficient operations near the I-75 corridor.

Built in 1996, with substantial renovations in 1999 and 2012, the functional Property offers 26’ to 35’ clear heights, 57 loading docks / 4 drive-in doors, robust power capacity, and a wet sprinkler system, appealing to a broad universe of users. The site also provides additional optionality for tenants with excess land suitable for outdoor storage or future expansion. The Property is ~53% leased to a private, international flooring manufacturer, which recently invested in a nearby ~$100 million manufacturing facility.

Robert Davies, Managing Partner of Tramview, stated “We are excited to partner with OpenPath in acquiring this well located, quality property which provides excellent connectivity to Atlanta and the Southeast. With an attractive purchase basis well below replacement cost and comparable sales, along with active tenant interest in the current vacancy, the acquisition provides an executable value-add business plan with the potential to deliver outsized returns to Tramview’s investors.”

Tramview has acquired seven industrial investments totaling ~1.3 million SF located in vital distribution and logistics hubs with compelling long-term fundamentals in Florida, Georgia, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania as of January 2026.
