(Duke Realty) has been selected by FedEx Trade Networks to develop a 77,100-square-foot, build-to-suit (BTS) facility at Camp Creek Business Center, a 400-acre, mixed-use business park in East Point, Ga., south of Atlanta. Construction will begin in February, with completion expected in August 2014.

"FedEx Trade Networks evaluated several sites near Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport and determined that Camp Creek was an ideal fit for its Atlanta air-freight distribution operations," said Chris Brown, Senior Vice President of Duke Realty's Southeast Region. "The business park offers excellent access to the airport, which is only three miles away, as well as to I-285 and Atlanta's interstate system while providing a master-planned business park environment in proximity to numerous shops and restaurants."
