The company that filed a permit application last year to develop a FedEx Ground distribution center on Reitz Avenue near Siegen Lane today acquired the 17.7-acre tract for $5.77 million, according to land records filed with the East Baton Rouge Parish Clerk of Court. Indianapolis, Ind.-based Scannell Properties #171 LLC submitted a permit application with DPW to build the 175,374-square-foot center last month, after the Planning Commission approved the final plans at its January meeting. The center, which will be located near Siegen Lane and Interstate 10, is projected to cost $11.5 million and cover 14.5 acres. FedEx filed plans for the warehouse–which required the Planning Commission and Metro Council to rezone the land from C-2 heavy commercial to Planned Unit Development–last July. Co-sellers in the land deal were Garry, Brenda, Lanny and Valerie Lewis. –Rachel Alexander
