The new space will serve as a distribution center for a global food corporation that uses IDLogistics as a contract logistics provider. Located at 4939 Hanoverville Road, the center is in proximity to other occupiers including Stitch Fix, Tesla, and the largest FedEx sorting facility in the U.S.

The building is expected to be completed this year. According to CommercialEdge data, the lot size for the facility is 29.4 acres. The property features a 185-foot truck court, loading doors, cross docks, dock levelers, dock bumpers, ESFR fire sprinklers and maximum clear heights of 40 feet.

Two of the other buildings in the Lehigh Valley Trade Center were completed in 2016, according to CommercialEdge data.

The other property, located at 4868 Hanoverville Road, is 947,548 square feet with PAC and Barry Callebaut as tenants, according to the same data.

The third phase of the Lehigh Valley Trade Center has begun following the signing of the IDLogistics lease. Two new buildings, which will be 287,445 square feet and 300,153 square feet, are scheduled for completion before the end of 2023.
