LOGAN TWP. — On June 22, Dermody Properties, a national industrial acquisition, development and operating firm headquartered in Reno, Nev., and Great Point Investors LLC broke ground on a new distribution facility at LogistiCenter at Logan, a 5.5-million-square-foot, Class A industrial park located in Logan Township.

The companies broke ground on a 393,120-square-foot building and construction is expected to be complete in fall of 2016. The facility will be well suited for e-commerce, food and beverage, and consumer product warehousing and distribution operations. The facility is e-commerce compliant with 36 feet of clear height, 186 car parking spaces and 129 trailer spaces.
