The two-story 453,424-square-foot building is fully leased, according to the press release. President James Umphrey and Vice President Thomas Bodden of Kelleher & Sadowsky completed the transaction on behalf of New York real estate giant Rabina, who owns the facility and a neighboring warehouse leased by Home Depot.
