Pennridge Airport Business Park has marked a significant milestone. At the end of last week, members of the development team, local and state officials celebrated the completion of the first building in this $60 million master-planned Class A business park with an official ribbon cutting ceremony. As a future home to integrated business – companies requiring R&D, pharma, or high-tech manufacturing, this exciting development offers enormous economic development and job creation potential for the region.
On hand was Robert Brink, President of Pennridge Development Enterprises and distinguished guests Pennsylvania Senator Steve Santarsiero, Pennsylvania State Representative Craig Staats, Aliyah Stanger of the PA Department of Community and Economic Development and Perkasie Borough Manager Andrea Coaxum.
“Building 1 of the Pennridge Airport Business Park is the culmination of many years of hard work and could not have been achieved without the support of individuals from Perkasie Borough and the State of Pennsylvania. This is an exciting project which we are confident will bring jobs and industry to Perkasie Borough.” cited an official from property developer Pennridge Development Enterprises.
The business park, located at 1100 Ridge Road in Perkasie, Bucks County, PA is currently one of the only master-planned, multi-phase developments in suburban Philadelphia. Building 1, a 100,000 SF tilt-up construction industrial facility is now complete and awaiting tenant specific improvements while adjacent to it the site for Building 2 is fully entitled, pad-ready, and able to accommodate over 100,000 square feet. At full build-out, the campus will contain six buildings of approximately 700,000 SF and features proposed plans for a walking trail, hotel and brew pub.
Situated on the grounds of the Pennridge Corporate Airport (KCKZ), Pennridge Airport Business Park provides immediate access to the one of the region’s largest corporate airports and a 4,215’ paved runway. The site is located less than three miles from Route 309, which provides access to I-476 via both the Lansdale Interchange and the Quakertown Interchange. Route 309 also provides access to the Lehigh Valley and both I-78 and I-276.
Perkasie Borough, located in Bucks County, is a business-friendly community with a well-educated workforce, and high quality of life.
“There has not been appreciable new development along the Route 309 corridor in decades. This project presents an opportunity for local companies to expand light manufacturing and warehouse operations.” cited Rose Penny, Director of Research at Colliers International who is the marketing partner for the Pennridge campus.
