Bronx Logistics Center
The Bronx Logistics Center project has received a formal Precertification Letter from the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC) designating the project with a LEED v4 Platinum rating, the highest LEED certification available by the governing body. The designation makes Bronx Logistics Center the US East Coast’s first distribution warehouse with a LEED Platinum rating, with only nine other distribution buildings throughout the entire United States achieving the USGBC’s highest rating.
Bronx Logistics Center will contain its own Con Edison electrical substation housed within its walls, providing power for up to 100 percent of its structured parking stalls to accommodate electrical vehicle (EV) charging and future EV tractor-trailer charging. Additionally, the project will feature a 2.9-megawatt solar array on the building’s rooftop, making it one of New York City’s largest private sources of renewable energy.
The property will include bicycle storage rooms, smart metering for managing water usage, light fixtures intended to limit light pollution, and MERV-13 filters to improve indoor air quality, among other green power and carbon offsets.
The project includes 32-foot clear heights, two exclusive site entrances for 585,000 square feet of warehouse space, and nearly 17 acres of parking and truck court areas accommodating over 1,500 parking spots. At 1.3 million square feet, Bronx Logistics Center sits on 14.2 acres in the South Bronx, a site that was assembled through five separate parcels.
