(December, 2008) A 254,200 square foot industrial building constructed on speculation by Mericle has two new tenants. 

Emery-Waterhouse is a full-service distributor of lawn and garden products and various hardware items and has been serving retailers throughout the U.S. for more than 160 years. 

Emery CFO Gary Merill was quick to praise Walsh, as well as “the entire professional staff at Mericle.”  He noted that the ability to negotiate directly with Mericle’s principals “helped to eliminate the bureaucracy found in other organizations.”

QuietFlex Manufacturing, headquartered in Houston, has opened a manufacturing operation in 80,880 square feet in the building.  The transaction was brokered by Andrew Iversen, Senior Vice President of Jackson Cooksey of Houston.  Jim Hilsher managed the transaction for Mericle.

Founded in 1976, QuietFlex is a subsidiary of Goodman Global Holdings, Inc., the second largest residential HVAC company in the United States.  QuietFlex is a high-volume, high-quality provider of flexible air duct. 

CenterPoint is just ½ mile from 1-81 and I-476 and offers a 10-year, 100% real estate tax abatement on improvements via the LERTA program.  The program was approved by the Jenkins Township and Pittston Township Supervisors, the Pittston Area School Board and the Luzerne County Commissioners to make the park more attractive to job-creating companies in need of space.
