The property is 100% leased to Pacon Manufacturing ("Pacon") with 13.1 years of remaining lease term.

"We are excited to continue building our strong industrial presence in the Southeast with our tenth acquisition in North Carolina. This property functions as the mission-critical manufacturing and distribution headquarters facility for Pacon, and we are pleased to add another high-quality building to the portfolio," stated EJ Wislar, Senior Vice President of Gladstone Commercial.
"The acquisition of the Pacon facility continues our core strategy of acquiring well-positioned assets in strong logistical locations. This location provides access to I-40 and I-95, which connect the Port of Wilmington and the Wilmington Terminal Railroad to major markets both North and South," said Buzz Cooper, Co-President of Gladstone Commercial.
Bob Cutlip, Co-President, agreed, "This transaction builds upon our strategy to increase our portfolio allocation to industrial buildings. Wilmington has emerged as a leading competitive Southeastern industrial hub and port, and we are excited to add a new credit-worthy tenant to our portfolio that improves our weighted average lease term."
