CORE, the largest integrated commercial real estate firm in Northern New England, is pleased to announce the successful acquisition of 11 Fireslate Place, a 14,000-square-foot warehouse property in Lewiston, Maine, by Lumen Industries. CORE facilitated the transaction and will provide ongoing property management services.
The acquisition closed on March 9 and was completed in tandem with a long-term lease agreement securing Brock Corp. as the building’s tenant, ensuring immediate occupancy and operational continuity at the site. Brock Corp., a Houston, Texas-based industrial services company with more than 15,000 employees worldwide, will utilize the property to support its regional operations, including warehousing, equipment storage, and logistics coordination across Maine and Northern New England.
CORE’s Charlie Hippler represented Lumen Industries in the transaction. Karen Rich of Malone Commercial Brokers and Bryant Loch of JLL represented Brock Corp.
“This was a great example of aligning the right tenant with the right ownership group,” said Josh Soley, President of CORE. “Securing a growing operator like Brock Corp. provides immediate stability for Lumen Industries while also supporting Brock’s continued expansion in the region. Our focus was on creating a solution that worked operationally for the tenant and delivered long-term value for ownership.”
11 Fireslate Place offers flexible, high-quality warehouse space in a well-maintained setting with strong access to regional transportation routes, making it an ideal fit for Brock Corp.’s operational needs and continued growth in the market.
This project builds on recent successes from CORE’s brokerage division, underscoring the firm’s growing reach and ability to execute complex acquisition and leasing assignments across markets. CORE supports clients with strategic acquisitions, leasing, and property management services that drive long-term value.
