When it comes to setting up operations, companies want top-notch facilities that will meet all their needs. This includes a good location, modern buildings with state-of-the art amenities and plenty of space for work and storage. Specializing in the sale and rental of prime office, industrial and commercial properties, Christiansen & Portela offers a broad selection of sites from which to choose. “As a niche player, we work exclusively with the commercial and industrial sectors,” said principal Rafael Portela.

In the area of industrial property, the firm currently has a number of sites available throughout the island, including Buildings No. 2 and No. 3 at the Humacao Industrial Park. Located just north of PR3, these two facilities, which are up for sale, feature ample office, warehouse and operating space for light industrial work. For example, Building No. 2, on a lot of close to 14,623 square meters, features 6,496 square feet of office space, 31,126 square feet for warehousing, and 43,872 square feet for other kinds of operations. It also comes with six loading dock bays with levelers, a 9,000-gallon cistern tank and approximately 50% of the facility is air conditioned. Building No. 3, which is larger in size, offers 8,900 square feet of office space, 11,607 square feet of warehousing area and 22,267 square feet for other needs. Other features include four loading dock bays with levelers, a 50,000-gallon cistern and a 10,000-gallon processed water tank, with the facility being mostly air conditioned. Both facilities have ample parking and an emergency generator as well as automatic fire protection sprinklers and fire house systems.

Also located in Humacao, a larger manufacturing and distribution facility containing six single-story buildings and one two-story totaling 190,000 feet is available for sale as well. Situated on a 31-acre parcel with ready access to PR53, the facility also includes approximately 457 parking spaces and nine acres for future expansion.

Providing immediate access to 65th Infantry Avenue (PR3) and PR887, this facility consists of 30,000 square feet, with loading docks and multiple loading areas with secure rolling doors and is HVAC-ready for chiller connection. Another facility, which is in Guaynabo off the Martínez Nadal Expressway and is for sale or lease, features 30,000 square feet of office and warehouse space in a three-story building. Other amenities include an elevator, two loading docks, secured doors, a power generator and 50 parking spaces with a security system.
