Read MoreHide Full Article

Liberty Property Trust recently leased out 4,612 square feet of space at 1200 Intrepid Avenue to Worldwide Express. This makes the company’s 1.58 million-square-foot portfolio in The Navy Yard, where 1200 Intrepid Avenue is located, 99% leased.

Worldwide Express is a leading logistics provider in North America, with its headquarters in Dallas, TX. The company plans to shift sales employees from its office in Center City to the new location. The floor-to-ceiling windows will ensure ample sunlight in the property, thereby aiding the company’s plan of an open-floor office.

The 1200 Intrepid is a four-story building comprising about 92,000 square feet of space in The Navy Yard. Except the second floor, which spans across 23,000 square feet of area, this building is fully occupied. The other tenants in this LEED Gold-certified building include Penn Capital Management, EMD Performance Materials, Paramount Enterprises International and Insperity, Inc. The property is located in The Navy Yard Corporate Center within The Navy Yard, a thriving riverfront area, which makes it a sought-after development.

Notably, Liberty Property has 16 developments in The Navy Yard, which includes 11 developments in The Navy Yard Corporate Center.  Its strategic location is expected to keep portfolio occupancy high. Therefore, the company’s $361-million investment in The Navy Yard will likely be beneficial for the long run.
