Avison Young selected as exclusive leasing firm for the adaptive reuse project

Philadelphia, PA – Global commercial real estate advisory firm Avison Young has been selected as the exclusive leasing agency by The RMR Group, an alternative asset management firm, to market a planned development of a new 477,500-square-foot (sf), state-of-the art industrial facility at 8800 Tinicum Boulevard. Designed to meet the increasing economic demands of modern logistics, e-commerce, and distribution operations, the new industrial development is expected to revitalize the property and support Philadelphia’s growing cargo economy.

Strategically located directly across from the Philadelphia International Airport (PHL) and with immediate access to Interstate 95, 8800 Tinicum offers unmatched connectivity for efficient distribution across the northeast corridor and mid-Atlantic markets.

Designed for high-performance operations, 8800 Tinicum will feature 40-foot clear heights, 8,000 amps of power, and abundant car and trailer parking, ensuring efficiency and adaptability for modern logistics and industrial needs. It is expected that construction can start as early as this summer.

Avison Young’s Matthew Marshall, Jim Scott, and Jack Owens are leading the leasing efforts for The RMR Group.

“As Philadelphia’s airport and ports expand, the property’s industrial infrastructure will play a key role in supporting regional economic growth,” said Scott.

“We also intend to maximize its locational advantages near the PHL Airport for air cargo and distribution uses,” added Marshall. “With exceptional access to Interstate 95 North and South and immediate proximity to airport cargo facilities, this may be one of the best development sites for distribution and air cargo along the I-95 Corridor between Washington and New York.”
