Industrial project recently completed by TCC and Clarion Partners

​BETHLEHEM, PA – Joint venture partners Trammell Crow Company and Clarion Partners announce Primark, a leading European fashion retailer, has signed a lease at 2485 Commerce Center Boulevard, a Class A speculative industrial building in Pennsylvania’s Lehigh Valley industrial market. The building will serve Primark’s east coast distribution operation as the company makes its first venture into the United States.  

A subsidiary of Associated British Foods, Primark opened its first store in the late 1960’s in Dublin, Ireland and has since experienced rapid expansion throughout Europe with a focus on low cost, trend-driven fashion. Primark first announced plans to enter the U.S. market earlier this year and will open its first U.S. store in Boston in late 2015. Primark plans to open additional stores in the northeast in 2016 and beyond. 

“We are thrilled to welcome Primark to the project as this global retailer looks to expand its brand in the United States,” said Andrew Mele, Senior Vice President with Trammell Crow Company’s Northeast Metro Business Unit. “The project offers a great location and best-in-class design to provide Primark with the distribution facility it needs to serve its planned store rollout.”

2485 Commerce Center Boulevard is located on a 40-acre site within Lehigh Valley Industrial Park VII, a master-planned business park that was formerly home to Bethlehem Steel. The building features 32’ clear height, 190’ deep truck courts, ESFR sprinkler systems, excellent logistical infrastructure and ample parking. The site is located in a designated Local Economic Revitalization Zone (LERTA). The Park is also home to the Bethlehem Intermodal Terminal.

"The (Lehigh) Valley has seen consistently strong demand for modern, bulk distribution product coupled with very limited availability on the ground. We are excited to have been able to capitalize on this trend and we are especially pleased with welcoming Primark to our portfolio." said Joe Zingaro, Asset Manager with Clarion Partners. 

CBRE’s Joe McDermott represented the tenant while Jake Terkanian and Vincent Ranalli represented ownership in the transaction.
