Link Logistics’ Princeton Elm Industrial Center sits alongside the Delaware River in Philadelphia. The 251,000 square foot LEED-certified warehouse is occupied by one of the firm’s largest customers under a green lease at this prime infill location. Link’s Development team partnered with the customer to transform a premier development into a customized spec-to-suit.
The 15-acre parcel stood empty for years following the demolition of the site’s original building. Link Logistics acquired the land and delivered a state-of-the-art warehouse with immediate access to the I-95 corridor (and in turn New York, Baltimore, Washington, D.C., New Jersey and western Pennsylvania) as well as proximity to the broader Philadelphia consumer base. Customizations included upsized transformer capacity, expanded parking and a second egress point to separate car and truck traffic. Delivered in June 2023, Princeton Elm Industrial Center is Link Logistics’ first development in Philadelphia.
During project planning, the Link Development team worked with the City of Philadelphia and community members to extend a riverfront trail, designating a 0.6-mile stretch as part of the area’s 11-mile network of trails and parks—crucial to reconnecting diverse Philadelphia neighborhoods to recreational opportunities along the water. In addition, Link Logistics kept a historic stone wall intact to pay respect to the site’s heritage.
Princeton Elm Industrial Center offers access to Philadelphia’s seaport, airports, highways and major rail lines, as well as proximity to the primary East Coast markets of New York City, New Jersey and Baltimore via I-95. Philadelphia is a vital distribution point for reaching one of the nation’s largest metropolitan areas and the entire Atlantic Seaboard.
“As businesses increasingly prioritize the efficiency of their transportation networks, Link Logistics continues to focus on last-mile infill locations and industrial warehouse spaces that appeal to customers who need access to infrastructure and proximity to large consumer populations.”
