Corporex, a privately held investment and development firm based in Covington, closed 2025 with a strong year of commercial real estate activity, reflecting continued demand for high-quality, amenity-driven workplaces across its Northern Kentucky portfolio. The leasing momentum aligns with Corporex’s 60th anniversary year and its long-standing focus on projects that are both significant and meaningful to the communities it serves.
Among 2025’s most notable transactions which contributed to 63,674 square feet of new commercial space leased across three different developments in Northern Kentucky were new office commitments from Verst Group Logistics, Carlisle & Bray and Patterson Pope, with an average lease length of nine years. Each lease underscores Corporex’s portfolio diversity of building offerings in regional locations to meet all types of user needs. The company’s rich history and vertically integrated approach to ownership, development, construction and property operations support tenants throughout the full lifecycle of their real estate needs, from site selection and development to long-term occupancy and growth.
“Our commercial leasing success in 2025 reflects the strength of our portfolio, our team, and the relationships we have built across the region,” said Bert Hehman, Director of Sales and Leasing for Corporex. “By combining a diverse offering of assets with a hands-on, strategic approach, we are able to connect businesses with spaces that support their operations today while positioning them for growth as their needs evolve.”
Verst Group Logistics, a fully integrated supply chain provider, will occupy 20,119 square feet, encompassing the entire fifth floor of Olympic Corporate Center II at 3900 Olympic Blvd., Suite 500, within the CirclePort development near CVG Airport in Northern Kentucky. The relocation consolidates and expands the company’s office operations, with the building’s professional environment, modern AV capabilities, central location and visibility cited as key drivers of the move. Corporex is managing the build-out, with an expected move-in date of late spring. The transition supports business growth while creating a centralized office for employees currently based across multiple locations. Of the company’s 3,000 employees, 75 will be based out of this Class A office building. This move coincides with Verst Group Logistics’ 60th anniversary as a family-owned company in the region…
