Lauth Names Commercial Kentucky as Brokerage Firm for Salt River Two

INDIANAPOLIS (February 5, 2008) – Lauth today announced that Phil Charmoli, SIOR, CCIM from Commercial Kentucky, Inc., a Cushman & Wakefield alliance partner, will serve as exclusive agent for Salt River Two located in the Salt River Business Park. Salt River Two will be a 936,000 square foot (sf) distribution, manufacturing, or assembly facility. The site is strategically located at I-65 and Highway 480, just 15 minutes south of Louisville International Airport in Bullitt County.

“Phil Charmoli is one of the best known industrial brokers in the Louisville area,” says Tag Birge, Regional Director of Midwest Development at Lauth. “Salt River Two will be the largest speculative distribution building in the Louisville area. We are thrilled to add the experience of Phil and Commercial Kentucky to our team.”

Charmoli has more than twenty years experience as an Industrial Brokerage Advisor with Commercial Kentucky. Frequently quoted in business and real estate publications, Phil is a recognized leader in the commercial real estate community in Kentucky.

“Lauth’s delivery of Salt River Two could provide a tremendous opportunity for the area economy,” said Charmoli. “Salt River’s proximity to the airport, UPS Worldport, and the I-65 north/south corridor will attract national companies to this growing distribution area. We are excited to play a role in another successful Lauth development.”

Salt River Business Park is also the location for Zappos.com eastern distribution hub. The company occupies 624,000 SF at Salt River One. Zappos.com is one of the top distributors of shoes and handbags in the world.

Construction of Salt River Two marks the latest announcement by Lauth, one of the nation’s leading development and construction firms. Earlier this month the company broke ground on Goodyear Point, a 2.5 million sf distribution park outside Phoenix. Lauth announced plans last fall for Westpoint Business Park, a 7.1 million sf distribution hub located near the Indianapolis International Airport in the Plainfield submarket and began construction on two healthcare buildings outside of Atlanta. The company is also building NASCAR Plaza, a 20-story world class office tower in Downtown Charlotte and seven retail centers across the U.S.
