Schnellecke Logistics leases anchor space at Prologis SouthPark in Grove City, expanding Columbus-area operations
Anchor lease closes out 2025 at Prologis-owned SouthPark complex
Schnellecke Logistics has signed an anchor lease for space in a Prologis-owned industrial park in Grove City, reinforcing the Columbus region’s continued draw for logistics and supply-chain operators. The agreement was finalized before the end of 2025 and positions Schnellecke as the anchor tenant in SouthPark’s Building 3, part of an established industrial submarket on the southwest side of the metro area.
The lease involves Building 3 at 3650 Brookham Drive in Grove City. Property marketing materials describe the site as an industrial warehouse/distribution facility built in 1994 and totaling about 305,268 square feet, with modern warehouse features such as dock doors, ESFR fire suppression and a 24-foot clear height. Current availability postings indicate divisible suites within the building, underscoring a multi-tenant configuration even as an anchor occupant is secured.
What the deal signals for regional industrial real estate
Southwest Columbus—and Grove City in particular—has been a focal point for warehouse and distribution activity because it provides quick access to the region’s highway network. Prologis markets the Columbus area as a large-scale industrial hub, citing a local portfolio of 40 buildings totaling more than 10 million square feet as of the second quarter of 2025. Within that broader footprint, SouthPark properties are promoted around proximity to I-270 and major freight corridors.
By taking an anchor position in Building 3, Schnellecke adds momentum to a pattern of large, long-term logistics commitments across greater Columbus, including continued buildouts in nearby Lockbourne tied to e-commerce and retail distribution. Such projects have repeatedly centered on access to regional transportation infrastructure and the availability of labor suited to warehouse operations.
Company footprint and service profile
Schnellecke is an international, family-owned logistics group whose services span transportation, warehousing and value-added logistics, with a major emphasis on automotive supply chains. The company’s broader portfolio also includes support for sequential production logistics and packaging, alongside affiliated capabilities in automotive body-part manufacturing under the KWD Automotive umbrella.
In Ohio, Schnellecke maintains a presence in Chillicothe, where it lists supply logistics services. The Grove City lease adds an additional node inside the Columbus industrial market, where companies often seek to consolidate distribution coverage within a one-day drive of major population centers in the Midwest and beyond.
