Amstar leases spec industrial Fort Worth property Amstar has signed a 12-year lease with Fruit of the Earth at Riverpark 1000, a 145,579-square-foot Class A light industrial facility in Fort Worth. Amstar, a Denver-based real estate investment management firm, and development partners Huntington Industrial Partners and Seefried Industrial Properties, broke ground on the site on a speculative basis in June. The property is off West Trinity Boulevard, less than seven miles from Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport. Fruit of the Earth will lease 100 percent of the building and will take occupancy after completion in the second quarter of 2015. The Fort Worth firm manufactures aloe vera-based skin, sun and health care products. The facility will house additional production lines, finished-goods distribution and related offices. Meanwhile, Seefried completed a separate 277,000-square-foot, build-to-suit facility in late 2013 for Fruit of the Earth, also located along Trinity Boulevard. “The leasing of Riverpark 1000 to Fruit of the Earth early in the construction process is a testament to the vitality of the Dallas-Fort Worth industrial market. Amstar is excited about Fruit of the Earth’s expansion in the Great Southwest area and its long-term commitment to the property,” said Amstar Senior Vice President Tricia Noble in a news release. Representing the tenant in the transaction were Tom Walrich and Reed Parker of Lee & Associates, with Kacy Jones and Steve Koldyke of CBRE representing the landlord.
