The property is strategically located along Interstate 65 in North Alabama’s manufacturing corridor, providing direct access to major automotive, aerospace, and industrial employers throughout the region. Situated on 11.88 acres, the facility features 36-foot clear heights and 31 overhead doors, providing the infrastructure needed for large-scale distribution operations.

Trade Distribution Center is fully occupied by RESRG Automotive, a Tier-1 automotive supplier that supports production operations for Mercedes-Benz, Toyota, Mazda, Honda, Hyundai, and Kia.

The facility serves as a critical component of the tenant’s supply chain network and is backed by a long-term lease structure. It is also adjacent to the main RESRG manufacturing plan, which is a mission-critical part of the RESRG operating platform around the southeastern United States.

The acquisition expands Enclave’s national footprint into a high-growth industrial market anchored by major automotive employers and a strong manufacturing presence. As one of the Southeast’s premier auto-producing hubs, North Alabama maintains an industrial vacancy rate near 3%, driving sustained demand for well-located distribution spaces.

“This acquisition represents an important milestone for Enclave as we continue expanding our investment platform,” said Josh Wilcox, Chief Investment Officer. “Trade Distribution Center is a high-quality industrial asset in one of the country’s most active manufacturing corridors, with strong fundamentals, a long-term tenant, and strategic access to regional transportation infrastructure. While we remain highly focused on the Midwest and Mountain West, we do see opportunities at compelling yields for select industrial assets in other parts of the country. Our focus remains on disciplined investments that create long-term value for our investors and partners.”

The addition of Trade Distribution Center serves Enclave’s broader investment strategy in stabilized industrial and multifamily assets in markets with strong long-term fundamentals. The transaction reflects Enclave’s ongoing pursuit of strategic growth while expanding its presence in high-performing markets.
