California-based Panattoni Development Co. has bought 125 acres off Interstate 40 between Mt. Juliet and Lebanon to build an industrial park it says will eventually be worth $100 million.

Panattoni paid $6 million for the land at I-40 and the new Beckwith Road interchange and is calling its development Beckwith Farms. It will later this spring begin construction of the first phase, which will include three buildings totaling more than 800,000 square feet.

Dave McGahren, John Ward, and Chad Tuck with Colliers Turley Martin Tucker will handle the leasing of the properties.

Beckwith Farms will be Panattoni's second speculative industrial development on Nashville's eastern fringe. The company has built Commerce Farms Park off State Route 840 and landed Bridgestone-Firestone, Genesco, Jacobson and Visteon as tenants.
