From the Cincinnati Business Courier:

The developers of a more than 1 million-square-foot speculative industrial building in Northern Kentucky have selected a commercial real estate firm to help them fill it.

Hillwood and Al Neyer, which are developing Aero Commerce Center, selected the team of Mike LoweJeremy KrausTim Schenke and Doug Whitten at CBRE to lease theIR bulk distribution center. Aero Commerce Center is expected to be more than 1.07 million square feet, or more than 24.5 acres under roof, at the southeast corner of Burlington Pike and Aero Parkway, just south of Amazon.com Inc.’s $1.5 billion Air hub.

Dan Ruh, Al Neyer’s executive vice president and Cincinnati market leader, said industrial users are looking at the area around Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport for locations to expand.

“This site hits all of the marks for a perfect development opportunity,” Ruh said. “It is directly across the street from Amazon’s Air hub and is minutes away from the region’s most-traveled interstates and the Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport.”
