Bucks County Logistics Firm Leases 200,000 SF Building

Wharton Industrial Expands Philly Area

Less than a year after buying a 200,000-square-foot industrial building in Croydon, Wharton Equity Partners has landed a new tenant for the vacant property.

Jillamy Inc., a third-party logistics company based in Chalfont, toured the building at 2955 State Road and signed a lease eight days later. The company takes occupancy Sept. 8. “It was a very fast-moving process,” said Nick Aileo, director of acquisitions for Wharton Equity.

The pace of the deal underscores continued demand for well-located industrial space throughout the region despite some skittishness in the economy. The building is within proximity to I-95, Route 1, the Pennsylvania Turnpike as well as the Burlington-Bristol Bridge leading into Southern Jersey and is adjacent to rail.

Bridge Investment Group of Salt Lake City paid $33.25 million for 11311 Roosevelt Blvd., a 229,459-square-foot warehouse in Philadelphia, according to city property records.

It bought the building from Covington Property Partners, a Dallas company that acquired it in February 2021 for $12.5 million. Covington purchased the building through a bankruptcy sale of National Publishing Co.’s assets. National had used the space as a warehouse and distribution center. 

After the sale to Covington, the City of Philadelphia leased the building for 16 years and has two 5-year extension options. The city is using it as a storage facility for equipment. 

The first year’s annual base rent is $1.91 a square foot and totals $438,798, according to an ordinance that Philadelphia City Council signed off on when approving the lease on June 17, 2021. From there, rents rise to $6.26 a square foot in the second year and top out at $12.43 a square foot by the end of 26 years if the city executes on the two options to extend the lease.
