A half-million square-foot industrial distribution RMR Group warehouse is set to replace a vacant office building on a 31.5-acre property on Tinicum Blvd. across from the Philadelphia International Airport, writes Paul Schwedelson for the Philadelphia Business Journal.
RMR Group, a Massachusetts firm, plans to demolish the existing building that was previously occupied by PNC Bank.
“It was the right time, the pivotal moment, to think about what was the best and highest use for this particular location,” said Julie Livingstone, director of real estate development for RMR Group.
Demolition will begin sometime in the second half of this year, according to Livingstone.
The property is north of PHL, a 10-minute drive from the airport and close to I-95.
Main access to the warehouse will be from the intersection of Bartram Avenue and Tinicum Boulevard.
The building would be leased to a single tenant, but could accommodate multiple tenants if needed. RMR is looking at warehouse distribution, light manufacturing for the property, with the potential to cater to cold storage tenants.
RMR Group is enthusiastic about Philadelphia’s industrial sector, especially with recent investments by the Port of Philadelphia and the airport to increase capacity.
