PHILADELPHIA (January 2, 2007) – Philadelphia-based AMC Delancey
Group, a leading national real estate investment and development firm, today
announced that it has secured a 26,527-square-foot lease with Provide
Berries, Inc. (Shari’s Berries) at the Commonwealth Building within the
Pennsylvania Business Center in Camp Hill, Pennsylvania. Specialty gourmet
food processor Shari’s Berries plans to use the space, its new East Coast
distribution facility, for food processing, packaging and distribution; as a
retail outlet; and for administrative offices.
Property manager Brett Crans represented AMC Delancey and Jason Grace of
Landmark Commercial Realty represented Provide Berries in this lease
transaction.
“Shari’s Berries was searching for a space that could meet its
specialized space requirements, as well as an owner/landlord willing to work
with the company on its fit out needs,” said Crans. “Providing solutions for
tenants is an AMC Delancey Group hallmark and that’s why we were able to
secure this lease with Shari’s Berries. The Commonwealth Building meets
Shari’s Berries’ unique space needs, while also providing a great location
for shipping its gourmet-dipped strawberries and other delicacies throughout
the East Coast.”
The Commonwealth Building is a 67,462-square-foot, multi-tenant
warehouse/flex building located at 25 Utley Drive in the Pennsylvania
Business Center (PBC), a planned business park consisting of four buildings
which are a combination of office, flex/office, and warehouse space. The PBC
was developed in 1986 and has a total gross building area of 134,817 square
feet. The business center is located at the Slate Hill Road exit off State
Route 15, just two miles north of the Pennsylvania Turnpike Exit 236, and
3.5 miles from I-83 in the heart of the Central Pennsylvania Crossroads.
About Shari’s Berries
Shari’s Berries was founded by Shari Fitzpatrick. What began as a gift
idea to differentiate herself with her mortgage customers soon became a
passion and booming business. Shari opened her first retail store in
Sacramento, CA in 1989, which was soon followed by three additional
Sacramento locations. These locations are owned and operated by Shari under
the original company of Shari’s Berries, Inc. As the Internet emerged and
overnight delivery became reliable, Shari’s Berries International, Inc. was
formed in 1998 to ship the high quality products nationwide. Working with
packaging engineers to develop a foolproof method for shipping, Shari’s
Berries launched its first generation website, berries.com in 1999.
Sacramento customers began shipping their favorite gift to family, friends,
and business contacts all across America. Recipients of the gifts were
amazed and went online to send the gifts to others. In 2005, Shari’s Berries
will dip two million berries in over 60 tons of toppings and ship to over
200,000 addresses in every state.
