Philadelphia Warehouse Development: Reinvigorating a Riverside Site

A Link Logistics LEED Silver certified project delivered in 2023 offers a window into our approach to sustainable warehouse development.

Our Investments, Development, Leasing, Construction and Property Operations teams partnered to develop an infill industrial site in Philadelphia adjacent to the Delaware River. The formerly blighted parcel is now home to a 251,000 square foot warehouse property, delivered in 2023, that houses one of our largest customers under a green lease in a prime location offering efficient access to New York City, Baltimore and New Jersey via I-95. Our first development in the city, the completed project features an energy-efficient ventilation system and LED lighting. A historic stone wall that we kept intact pays respect to the site’s heritage. We also worked with the City of Philadelphia and local residents to extend a key riverfront trail. Our development designated a 0.6-mile stretch to be part of the 11-mile network of trails and parks in the area, thus playing a critical role in reconnecting diverse Philadelphia neighborhoods to recreation opportunities along the Delaware River.

"It was personally rewarding to be part of a project that gives riverfront access back to a community where I grew up—a place where open space wasn’t always easily accessible."
