Firm buys Kapolei warehouse for $7.1M
A freight movement company has acquired a warehouse built 40 years ago in Kapolei for Kraft Foods.
The commercial real estate brokerage firm CBRE announced the $7.1 million sale of the 26,153-square-foot warehouse on 2.3 acres of land to American Fast Freight.
The warehouse at 91-290 Kauhi St. in Campbell Industrial Park was built in 1976 for Kraft Foods, now known as Kraft Heinz. The company closed the facility after an extensive review of its North American distribution network following Kraft’s 2015 merger with H.J. Heinz Co., according to a statement CBRE provided from Michael Mullen, Kraft Heinz senior vice president of corporate and government affairs.
CBRE represented Kraft Heinz in the sale.
Mullen said Kraft Heinz will continue to service its customers through the company’s California operations.
