CRG broke ground on two Class-A industrial buildings totaling more than 900,000 square feet at The Cubes at Etna, a 305-acre master-planned industrial park in Etna, Ohio, about 20 miles southeast of downtown Columbus.
Spanning 750,120 square feet, Building B is fully leased to Omega Morgan, a leader in specialized transportation, heavy rigging and machinery moving services that already occupies Building D and is expanding its presence at the park. The second new building, Building C, measures 160,920 square feet and is being developed on a speculative basis. Both buildings are slated to deliver in 2027, with Building C expected to deliver in the summer.
Located adjacent to the Interstate 70 interchange at state Route 310, Buildings B and C are supported by a 15-year, 100% tax abatement in one of the nation’s most active industrial markets. Through the third quarter of 2026, the Columbus market recorded 18.4 million square feet of leasing activity, with 7.7 million square feet of that year-to-date total occurring in buildings of 700,000 square feet or larger, according to KBC Advisors.
“The continued demand for modern Class A industrial space in the Columbus market is exactly why we’re moving forward with these two new buildings at The Cubes at Etna,” said Kevin Scott, senior vice president and partner for the Ohio Valley Region of CRG. “This park has a proven track record of attracting best-in-class tenants, and we expect the momentum to continue.”
Building B, which occupies a 37.4-acre site, is designed with 40-foot clear heights, 141 dock doors, four drive-in doors, 185-foot truck courts, 50-by-54-foot column spacing, 4,000-amp power service with room to expand, 397 vehicle parking spaces and 219 trailer parking stalls.
Situated on a 10.3-acre site, Building C will feature 32-foot clear heights, 30 dock doors, two drive-in doors, a 185-foot truck court, 50-by-54-foot column spacing, 60-foot speed bay, 174 vehicle parking spaces and 63 trailer parking stalls.
Both buildings are being developed in partnership with an affiliate of CRG’s capital partner, LXP Industrial Trust. LJC Design & Engineering is the architect for both buildings, while Contegra Construction is serving as general contractor.
Joe Kimener and Beau Taggart, SIOR, of KBC Advisors, the listing brokers for The Cubes at Etna, represented CRG in the Building B lease, while Niall Travers and Joe Davis of JLL represented Omega Morgan. KBC Advisors is also marketing Building C and the park’s remaining build-to-suit site.
The Cubes at Etna is already home to three completed buildings. Building A, a 1.2 million-square-foot build-to-suit e-commerce fulfillment center developed by CRG for Kohl’s, was delivered in 2020 and brought more than 400 jobs to the area. Building E, a 1,074,840-square-foot speculative distribution facility, was completed in October 2022 and is fully leased to a prominent tenant. Most recently, Building D, a 250,020-square-foot speculative facility, was completed in January 2024 and is fully leased to Omega Morgan.
The Cubes at Etna has one remaining pad-ready site, Building F, with capacity for a build-to-suit facility of up to 337,590 square feet.
