The property is currently leased to three tenants: Fessenden Hall Inc., EVO Transportation and Energy Services, Inc., and ALS Trucking, Inc.
• Fessenden Hall Inc. leases both the one-story building and the entire two-story building, totaling approximately 39,189 square feet. However, they only utilize the lower floor of the two-story building and the entire one-story building, which amounts to around 26,000 square feet. They are currently paying $135,960 NNN, equating to a rent of $3.47 NNN per square foot. This lease is significantly below market value.
• EVO Transportation and Energy Services, Inc. is an IOS tenant occupying approximately 1 acre of outside land for truck parking. They currently pay $72,000 per year for this space.
• ALS Trucking, Inc. is an IOS tenant occupying 0.55 acres of outside land for truck parking. They currently pay $34,200 per year for this space.
2028 Value Creation Opportunity: Considering Fessenden Hall Inc.'s lease is significantly below market, when their lease ends in 2028 (with one 5-year option where rents are set at fair market value), the new buyer will have the opportunity to raise the rent to market rates, which are currently above $8 per square foot. In 2026 and 2027, there will also be opportunities to raise the rents of the IOS tenants to $80,000 and $36,000, respectively. These increases have the potential to boost the 2028 NOI to $355,356.
The Harrisburg Area East industrial market is an extension of the I-81/78 Corridor, a significant national industrial and logistics hub. The region benefits from excellent transportation infrastructure, including immediate connections to I-81, I-83, I-78, I-76, and I-80, and access to major ports. Its strategic location has attracted national occupiers like UPS, D&H Distributing, Lowes, and Lennox. Despite recent challenges, the submarket remains an attractive option for industrial tenants and investors. The combination of strategic location, limited available land, and ongoing leasing activity suggests a resilient market poised for future growth as economic conditions improve. Harrisburg’s asking rent growth has decelerated since late 2022 after peaking at an all-time high of 9.8%. As of Q3 2024, annual rent growth has decelerated to 4.1%, which is higher than the national pace of 2.9%. Harrisburg’s consistent rent growth has contributed to cumulative rent growth of 42.1% over the past five years. These increases have driven average industrial rents to $8.20 per square foot, but rents remain notably below the national average of $12.00 per square foot. Smaller facilities can often command higher rents, with recent leases in the area achieving rates as high as $13.98 per square foot.
