Property overview

A specialized cross-dock terminal in the Lehigh Valley

1940 PA Route 309 presents a rare opportunity to acquire an established trucking terminal positioned directly along one of the Lehigh Valley's primary transportation corridors. The property combines a 26-door cross-dock facility, 3.0484 acres, secured yard improvements, and an existing trucking-terminal use in a strategic regional logistics market.

Truck terminals are specialized operational assets that can be difficult to develop, entitle, and reproduce in established logistics markets. The combination of direct Route 309 frontage, an existing trucking-terminal use, 26 dock-high doors, and a secured 3.05-acre site gives this property strategic value beyond traditional building-area metrics.
