Metal fabrication and manufacturing company, Unified Legacy, is expanding its existing footprint in Macon. The company will invest $125 million in a new manufacturing facility in Macon, creating 500 new jobs over the next several years in Bibb County. Unified Legacy’s new manufacturing facility will be located at Barnes Ferry Road in Macon, with construction expected to begin in 2026. Parrish Construction is the general contractor.

Unified Legacy manufactures complex products and components for the defense, aerospace, data center, and industrial markets. Through advanced machining, welding, and fabrication capabilities, the company delivers custom solutions including ground support equipment, welded assemblies, generator enclosures, fuel storage tanks, and precision-machined components. Unified Defense, their existing manufacturing facility, has been operating in Byron, Georgia, since 2022.

Hunneman Real Estate brokered an 11,248 square-foot, 12-year lease of CKM Real Estate’s 250 Apollo in Chelmsford, MA to Triton Systems, an advanced materials, coatings and systems engineering product development firm that has been a defense contractor for more than 30 years.  To facilitate the move, 250 Apollo will undergo significant infrastructure upgrades to reflect the tenant’s unique needs.

“Securing this lease is a testament to CKM Real Estate’s creativity in navigating an extremely competitive market,” said Chris Curley, EVP at Hunneman. “The flexibility of 250 Apollo to adapt and accommodate a wide range of user types, including research and development space, flex uses and GMP through a fully permitted 50,000-rentable-square-foot expansion of the building serves as a key differentiator for tenants seeking dynamic spaces.”

Curley and Hunneman’s Ken Oppenheim and Mike Allen represented ownership. The two-floor, 143,215 square-foot 250 Apollo was constructed in 1986 and most recently renovated in 2020.
