International Airport Centers is a part of the Perlmutter Investment Company family of operating companies. ( www.perlmutter.net )
International Airport Centers was formed in 1995 to develop and hold a professionally managed portfolio of transportation related cargo, warehouse distribution, and office complexes at major airports throughout the United States.
Since the inception of the company, IAC has developed, or acquired properties in national markets such as Boston, Los Angeles, Seattle, Detroit, Miami, Charlotte, New York, Houston, Northern New Jersey, San Francisco, Chicago, San Diego, and Portland.
IAC currently owns and manages approximately 7,800,000 square feet of industrial property of which approximately 2,000,000 sq. ft. is in various stages of the development process. International Airport Centers serves international, national and local customers in a nation-wide network of warehouse and distribution centers located near gateway airports. With a 7,800,000 square foot management portfolio of existing buildings and the ability to develop build-to-suit or speculative space, we provide facilities to the best known brands of air cargo, logistics and freight forwarding.
From its inception, IAC has been committed to a core set of Development Fundamentals that define each of its developments. In maintaining a strict adherence to the following principles, IAC has emerged as one of the Nation's leading providers of warehouse distribution and office space at airports throughout the United States:.
IAC Development Fundamentals
Strategic Locations: IAC's projects are in major metropolitan areas close to various modal ports including metropolitan airports, seaports and interstate highway systems. Each of the strategically located sites minimizes the time required to transport cargo between distribution centers and customers, thereby reducing costs for shippers.
Intelligent Routing: The Company's projects are designed to provide efficient traffic patterns by allowing trucks maximum maneuverability and segregating truck and automobile traffic and parking. IAC's projects are designed for both office and warehouse uses with clear signage and roads designed for trucks.
National Leasing: Leasing space at IAC's facilities allows tenants to negotiate leases in multiple locations with a single landlord. IAC therefore builds on established relationships with national and international intermodal freight companies and related users. Users know they can expect a consistent level of services, amenities, and professionalism from all of the company's projects located anywhere in the country.
Flexible Design Features: IAC's projects are designed as cargo, warehouse, and office distribution facilities. Prospective tenants are offered a wide range of features including dock-high doors and grade access doors large enough to handle air and sea containers, flexibility in office layouts, efficient building design, and acoustic considerations to minimize outside aircraft noise. IAC's facilities are designed to allow freight to be moved as efficiently as possible.
Professional Image: Many air and sea freight companies are national or multi-national companies. To service such tenants, facilities must be maintained in a professional manner. All of IAC's properties are served by a local property management staff to maximize services while achieving constant vigilance over costs. IAC's facilities are as much business parks with landscaping, fountains and jogging trails as they are warehouse facilities with concrete truck aprons, over-size truck courts and multiple door sizes for varying freight and container sizes.
