Sephora has signed an industrial lease for 70,133 square feet at 4611 Mercedes Drive within
Riverside Business Park in Belcamp, Md.
"The availability at 4611 Mercedes Drive provided a perfect scenario for Sephora,"
said Christopher Wright, director, Cushman & Wakefield in Baltimore. "In addition to
requiring more space, the company needed additional parking for its employees, and 4611
Mercedes fulfilled both requirements."
Constructed in 1990, the 178,133-square-foot facility is now fully leased. Owner DCT Industrial
was represented in the transaction by Adam Weidner of CB Richard Ellis.
"We have been seeing an uptick in this industrial market," said Wright, noting that
Belcamp is in Harford County, north of Baltimore. "The vacancy rate has dropped a bit, and
some new product is coming on line, including at least one spec building. This transaction is
another indication of the improving industrial climate."
