Black Creek Group, a Denver-based real estate investment manager with a history of $18.2 billion in development and acquisitions, announced that construction is underway on a 514,000-square-foot logistics facility in Bethlehem Township.

“The Lehigh Valley industrial market is a key logistics area within easy reach of the heavily populated Mid-Atlantic, New York Metro and New England regions,” said David Fazekas, managing director for the Eastern Region of Black Creek Group.

“The Brodhead development not only offers an excellent location with visibility from Routes 22 and 191, it will also benefit from the area’s well-educated labor force.”

The facility is flexibly designed to accommodate single or multiple tenants and is expected to be complete during the second quarter of 2019. Black Creek Group chose the Brodhead Road site for the new logistics warehouse because of its strategic access to population centers up and down the Eastern Seaboard.
