Officials at Hillwood announced on Monday that it had entered into a new distribution center lease with Carolina Beverage Group, a longtime corporate client, at Alliance Center North 9.
Alliance Center North 9 originally began construction in December 2021 as a class A spec facility and will now provide Carolina Beverage with a “state-of-the-art” distribution center to support its high-speed bottling and filling manufacturing facility already located within AllianceTexas, according to a press release.
“Carolina Beverage Group has been an outstanding and highly valued corporate resident of AllianceTexas for nearly a decade,” says Reid Goetz, senior vice president of Hillwood, in a statement. “We are thrilled to support the company’s continued growth, which has aligned perfectly with our industrial development strategy of building for future needs by keeping speculative options on hand for new and existing customers.”
Alliance Center North 9 is located at the southeast corner of North Beach Street and Litsey Road in Denton County. Alliance Center North 9 and Alliance Center North 8 were announced in October 2021 as speculative distribution facilities and are currently under construction with an expected completion in the fall of this year.
“AllianceTexas has given us access to world-class amenities focused on furthering our growth and we are excited to expand into our new space at Alliance Center North 9,” says Brian Demos, president & CEO of Carolina Beverage Group. “We are now able to continue tapping into those amenities while seamlessly serving our growing footprint across the country.”
Carolina Beverage Group expanded into the Southwest in 2014 with its manufacturing and warehouse facility at AllianceTexas. The facility offers cold fill, hot fill, and tunnel pasteurization capabilities, and can produce can sizes ranging from 8 ounces to 24 ounces, including the re-sealable CapCan. The company also operates an additional distribution center in AllianceTexas.
Alliance Center North 9 is strategically located within close proximity to AllianceTexas’ logistics amenities: BNSF’s Alliance Intermodal Facility, the Alliance FedEx Ground Hub, two UPS Ground Sort Hubs, the FedEx Express Southwest Regional Air Hub and Amazon Air Regional Hub.
