The newspaper’s new distribution center is set to open Aug. 1 in 22,590 square feet of space at 4002 W. Miller Road in Garland. The center will be in the smaller of two buildings in a Class A project. “The negotiations on this deal went very quickly. We had two other interested parties pursuing this space at the same time,” said Susan Singer, executive vice president of Dallas-based Bradford Commercial Real Estate Services, in a news release. Gateway East’s high parking ratio helped attract the newspaper, according to Bradford, which cited its carrier fleet that picks up newspapers for early-morning delivery. “Even though they work during off-peak hours, parking was a critical requirement,” Singer said. Representing the landlord, IAC North Dallas LLC, in the transaction were Singer and Michael T. Grant, senior vice president and managing partner of Bradford. Todd Awe of TAG Realty Management Inc. represented the buyer.
