EQT Acquires I-78 Commerce Center in Central Pennsylvania

New Distribution Facility Delivered in Southwest Philadelphia

A recently developed logistics center in central Pennsylvania has been acquired by a Swedish investment group.

Specifically, EQT Real Estate announced that its Industrial Core-Plus Fund IV acquired the approximately 809,000-square-foot distribution center at 8032 State Route 183 in Bernville.

The property, known as I-78 Commerce Center, was purchased from Atlanta-based Core5 Industrial Partners. The transaction price was not disclosed, according to CoStar data.

Notably, the facility is located along Interstate 78, roughly 75 miles northwest of Philadelphia. As a result, strong regional and national distribution access is provided.

According to EQT, the acquisition aligns with its broader logistics strategy. Additionally, the property was cited as being located in a supply-constrained distribution market.

In a statement, EQT Chief Investment Officer Matthew Brodnik noted the asset’s modern design and strategic location. Consequently, the facility is positioned to support both regional and national demand.

Overall, the purchase follows a series of recent industrial acquisitions nationwide. Through these transactions, EQT continues to modernize and rebalance its logistics portfolio.
