HVAC company expands in Central Virginia

Published May 2, 2019 by Michael O'Connor

An HVAC equipment company has added to its Richmond-area presence.

Carrier Enterprises LLC has subleased the 12,000-square-foot, one-story industrial property at 2947 Oak Lane Blvd. in the Oak Lane Business Center in Chesterfield County.

Carrier wholesales heating and air equipment to residential and commercial customers. The company also has a presence at 2401 Dabney Road. Carrier did not immediately respond to a request for comment Thursday.

Rob Dirom, a senior vice president with Colliers International, represented Carrier in the leasing of the Chesterfield space. He says Carrier is trying to position itself so it’s accessible for crews installing HVAC equipment.

“They just want to be in that traffic flow,” says Dirom.

The landlord of Carrier’s new space in Chesterfield was represented in lease negotiations by Cushman & Wakefield | Thalhimer’s Gregg W. Beck and Scott Douglas.

Beck says the Oak Lane Boulevard space Carrier has moved into was previously occupied by Oberweis Dairy and had been vacant for a month.  He adds the industrial market is very tight in the area.
