YORK, PA–Responding to the shortage of class A bulk warehouse space in the surging Central Pennsylvania industrial market, Ridgeline Property Group will develop a 423,300-square-foot industrial speculative building in York, PA. Cabot Properties Inc. will be RPG's capital partner for Susquehanna Logistics Center, which will be built on a 51-acre site providing immediate access to Interstate 83.

Construction will begin in late March and will be completed in December 2015. Patrick McBride and Gerry Blinebury of Cushman & Wakefield's Harrisburg, PA, office have been selected to market the property for lease. The 423,300-square-foot distribution facility will feature 32-foot clear heights, 87 dock doors, 52-foot by 54-foot column spacing, early suppression fast response (ESFR) fire sprinklers and high-capacity parking, including 179 auto spaces and 146 trailer storage stalls.

“With strong absorption rates combined with the extremely limited supply currently available, this market is primed for the modern and efficient class A distribution space that Susquehanna Logistics Center will provide,” says Greg Thurman, CEO of Ridgeline Property Group. “There is virtually no class A space between 200,000 and 400,000 square feet available in Central Pennsylvania, and this is the only zoned and entitled industrial site between Harrisburg and Baltimore that can bring a class A project to market in the near term. The timing couldn't be better for us to team with our long-term partner Cabot Properties on this distribution building.”
