Chapman Plans 300-Acre Commerce Center

PITTSBURGH-Within eight to 10 years, the developer plans two million sf of warehouse/distribution space and one million sf of office and retail.

PITTSBURGH-Chapman Properties has acquired 300 acres in Findlay Township, near the Pittsburgh International Airport for Chapman Commerce Center. It will break ground in early 2007 for an initial spec warehouse/distribution facility of between 80,000 sf and 100,000 sf, scheduled for delivery by year-end 2007.

At full build out, the center’s plan calls for two million sf of warehouse/distribution space and a million sf of office and retail, according to Hardy Kern, VP of construction for Leetsdale-based Chapman. He tells GlobeSt.com his company expects to reach full build out within eight to 10 years, “depending on market demand.”

With its eye on robust warehouse/distribution activity in other parts of the state, Chapman is developing that component first with a goal of bringing some of those potential tenants, including big-box retailers to Pittsburgh. “We can accommodate users, including build-to-suit clients, with requirements from 20,000 sf to a million sf,” he says. The property also contains six pad sites, including two 20-acre parcels that face the Findlay Connector, which is a six-mile expressway that provides direct access from Route 22 to the airport.
