Duke Realty Corporation’s Indiana office has broken ground on a 218,000-square-foot expansion for Hachette Book Group, a book publisher and distributor, in the Lebanon Business Park in Lebanon, Ind.
The Lebanon Business Park is a 1,250-acre industrial park at 121 N. Enterprise Blvd. in Lebanon. The new larger facility will increase Hachette Book Group’s footprint in the park to about 1.5 million square feet in two buildings.
The Hachette project is the third expansion in the Lebanon Business Park in the past year by existing tenants. Purity Wholesale Grocers and CNH Global NV announced last summer that they were increasing their total square footage in the park and investing in new equipment.
Purity, a distributor of products ranging from frozen food to health and beauty care, dairy, dry goods and candy, selected Duke Realty to build a new 480,000-square-foot facility. The product-support division of CNH Global NV, an international manufacturing company, announced the lease and fixturing of a 153,000-square-foot building in the park, raising its total presence there to 1.2 million square feet in three buildings.
