Memphis Logistics & Technology Center Offers Prime Location for Distribution

Built in 1998, the Memphis Logistics & Technology Center (MELTECH) has quickly become a preferred location for companies that are looking for convenient access to highways and skyways. With 233 acres of prime distribution space near the Memphis International Airport and close proximity to I-55 and I-40, MELTECH is a key part of the Memphis area's thriving distribution industry.

"Within one day's drive, Memphis serves 76 percent of the entire U.S. population," notes Andrew J. Groveman, senior vice president of Belz Enterprises. "In addition to being strategically situated close to the Memphis International Airport and Federal Express' hub, MELTECH's easy access and proximity to the interstate systems provide excellent over-the-road trucking support."

Located at the corner of Holmes and Tchulahoma, the Memphis Logistics & Technology Center has the potential for up to 4.5 million square feet of office, industrial and warehouse distribution space.

MELTECH features attractive building facades and beautifully landscaped grounds that lend an upscale look to the entire facility. Recent expansions have added up to 440,000 square feet of bulk warehouse or manufacturing space that is both modern and versatile. The buildings are constructed of smooth-faced tilt-up concrete, featuring a clear height of 30 feet with 50-foot column spacings, an ESFR sprinkler system, R-19 roof insulation and a capacity for cross docks.

A national leader in real estate development, Belz owns and manages more than 25 million square feet of industrial warehouse and distribution centers, shopping centers, office buildings, mixed-use centers and corporate campuses.
