Woodmont Industrial Partners, in partnership with Brookfield Properties, said Tuesday that it broke ground on a new industrial project in Alpha to construct a 450,000-square-foot Class A facility.
To be located at 78 Logistics Center at Edge Road, the plans call for the development of a state-of-the-art LEED-certified cross-dock facility to feature a 36-foot clear height, 118 dock doors with four drive-ins, 6,000 square feet of office space, 89 truck/trailer parking spots and 230 spaces for cars on the 33.67-acre site, which Woodmont sold to Brookfield Properties.
CBRE’s Brian Fiumara and Brad Ruppel represented both parties in the transaction, which closed in June. Completion is estimated for the third quarter of 2025. CBRE’s Jake Terkanian, Sean Bleiler and John La Prise will be the exclusive leasing brokers.
“As the flight to quality persists in New Jersey’s industrial market, Woodmont is committed to delivering facilities that support successful operations and growth while meeting the evolving needs of tenants,” Anthony Amadeo, executive vice president of Woodmont, said. “We couldn’t be more excited to kick off our relationship with Brookfield on this transaction. We share a very similar, forward-thinking development approach, and we’re thrilled to have closed this partnership and begin the construction phase of the site. We feel the property offers optionality to many different users in the market and will be received exceptionally well.”
Strategically located directly off Route 22 and adjacent to Intersate 78, the Alpha 78 Logistics Center provides convenient access to the New York City, Lehigh Valley and Philadelphia metropolitan areas and the Ports of Philadelphia and Newark, all within an hour-and-a-half drive time. This prime location is further enhanced by several notable manufacturers and contractors, including Torelco, Inno-Spin, Hunterdon Transformer Co. and Bihler of America, who are neighbors to the site.
“We’re pleased to add Alpha 78 to our portfolio as our first ground-up project in the Lehigh Valley, a growing distribution hub in the Northeast,” Tyler Mordas, vice president of Brookfield Properties, said. “This project will complement our Northeast development pipeline of over 9 million square feet and existing logistics footprint of over 320 assets, enhancing our ability to serve clients as they grow and create resiliency in their supply chain.”
