The industrial space accounts for the first two levels of the building. It can cater to a variety of potential tenants. The Borden Complex has plenty of modern and cutting-edge features, including direct loading, a 130-foot truck court on the first two levels and covered rooftop parking. Leasing for the industrial space at the Borden Complex is being handled by JLL.
