JLL worked with sponsor J.G. Petrucci Co. to arrange the joint venture with Cabot Properties and secured the loan from Provident Bank.
The Class-A space at 3000 Quarry Road in West Rockhill, about a 30-minute drive north of Center City, is near the Pennsylvania Turnpike and State Route 309.
The facility will include 36-foot clear heights, 85 loading positions and drive-in doors. The building will be situated on a 29.6-acre site with 76 trailer spaces and 280 passenger vehicle parking spaces.
JLL’s Jon Mikula, John Plower, Ryan Cottone and Michael Lachs led the deal.
“Best in class sponsors and projects can still be capitalized despite the capital markets headwinds,” Mikula said in a statement.
