Logistics Property Company, LLC, (LogiPropCo), a logistics real estate owner, developer, and manager, has broken ground on Fords Prairie Industrial Park, a 604,000-square-foot development in Centralia, Washington. This is LogiPropCo’s third project in Washington state, following the fully leased Tacoma South and Frederickson ONE developments that total three million square feet across six buildings.
Fords Prairie Industrial Park is centrally located along Interstate 5 between Seattle and Portland, allowing for access to three major ports and a nearby railway served by Union Pacific and BNSF. When complete, the building will feature a 42-foot clear height, 6,000 amps of power, and a spec office totaling nearly 9,000 square feet. With 38 EV charging stations and a Solar PV system planned, the project is pursuing LEED Gold certification.
“We are confident in the strength of the industrial market in Lewis County and believe the location between Seattle and Portland is ideal for users with multi-state distribution,” said Dennis Rice, Executive Vice President of LogiPropCo’s West Region. “Fords Prairie, with access via Interstate 5 and Interstate 84, provides connections to the West Coast Ports and Inland Ports further east and southeast.”
Developed by Logistics Property Company, the project’s general contractor is Poe Construction. NELSON Worldwide is the project architect, Barghausen is the civil engineer, and AHBL is the structural engineer. The project’s leasing representatives are Vanessa Herzog of Lee & Associates and Mike Avila of Pacific Rim Real Estate Group.
“Logistics Property Company’s development will offer flexibility for a wide range of end users with the building’s 42-foot clear height, cross-dock design, and significant trailer parking,” said Herzog, Principal, Lee & Associates Seattle.
“Fords Prairie’s location in Lewis County offers a more cost-effective option to users in the Puget Sound Region compared to space in King and Pierce Counties, without sacrificing any quality or amenities,” said Avila, President of Pacific Rim Real Estate Group.
Fords Prairie Industrial Park is expected to deliver in Q3 2026. Learn more about this development here.
