Nashville Firm Buys Second Harvest Facility in Knoxville
Jan 18th
The former warehouse and distribution center for Second Harvest Food Bank of East Tennessee on Delaware Avenue in Knoxville has been sold to Onsite Environmental, an environmental engineering firm based in Nashville, Tennessee.
The sale was the result of Second Harvest’s purchase of a new and significantly larger facility in Alcoa, Tennessee. NAI Knoxville represented Second Harvest in the purchase of the new facility and the sale of the building and land in Knoxville. Onsite Environmental was represented by Memphis Commercial and Industrial Real Estate.
“NAI has been a valued and expert partner in these transactions,” said Elaine Streno, Executive Director of Second Harvest. “They worked diligently to find a suitable facility that allows us to meet the growing demand for food by people at risk of hunger in the 18 counties of East Tennessee we serve, and they have done a great job as our listing agent for the successful sale of the Delaware Avenue facility,” she added. “Second Harvest is thrilled and proud that NAI Knoxville was able to sell our Knoxville Distribution Center where we resided for 18 years. Thanks to this community’s support, we went from providing 2 million pounds of food in 1993 to 17 million pounds of food in 2011, providing meals throughout our 18-county service area. That kind of growth demanded we relocate, and we are grateful for everyone’s support as we start a new chapter for Second Harvest of leading the fight against hunger from our new facility in Blount County.”
