Connected to the Sea
While Winchester is an inland city, we are surprisingly close to ocean ports. The Port of Virginia is large enough to accommodate Panamax vessels and efficient enough to get cargo to the open sea within three hours of delivery. The Virginia Port Authority’s largest terminal, the Norfolk International Terminals, is served by 14 Super Post-Panamax Class quay cranes and can handle 12,000-14,000 twenty-foot equivalent (TEU) vessels. It can be reached from Winchester in about four hours by highway and connects to our city by rail. The Virginia Inland Port, an intermodal container transfer facility in Front Royal, is just 20 minutes from Winchester. It consolidates and containerizes local cargo for rail transport and export via seaports.
The I-81/ I-78 Corridor is one of the most active and fastest growing locations in the Northeastern United States for warehousing, repackaging and distributing consumer goods. The I-81 Corridor encompasses several critical logistics markets including Northeast PA (Scranton, Wilkes-Barre and Hazleton), Central PA (Harrisburg, Mechanicsburg, Carlisle,York and Chambersburg), West Virginia (Martinsburg), Maryland (Hagerstown) and Virginia (Front Royal, Winchester and Harrisonburg). The critical importance of this interstate highway, and its unique ability to link logistics infrastructure to major population centers, has catalyzed the relocation and/or expansion of some of the largest and most prominent corporations and logistics companies in the world to this corridor. Some of the location benefits of the I-81 Corridor which have contributed to robust tenant activity, including its exceptional leasing activity in recent quarters, are as follows:
- Over 40% of the nation’s population lives within a 600-mile radius of the Southern I-81 Corridor Industrial Market. The Property is located in close proximity to Washington DC (80 miles), Baltimore (108 miles), Philadelphia (210 miles), New York (275 miles), Boston (494 miles) and Toronto ( 439 miles);
- There’s a distinct and quantifiable benefit in operating costs compared to competing markets such as Washington DC, New Jersey, New York and Philadelphia. Northern Virginia has led the way in this regard given its extremely pro-business culture, logistics infrastructure, cost-competitive labor, and close proximity to Washington DC, Baltimore and the Philadelphia markets.
- Proximity to, and investment in, critical transportation infrastructure including highways, seaports, rail intermodals, and air cargo has helped the I-81 Corridor grow rapidly.
