ITTSTON, PA — Woodmont Indus- trial Partners has acquired a 437,000 s/f ware- house building at 1 Com- merce Rd. in Pittston. The former Penguin Ran- dom House LLC site, which served as one of the com- pany’s book distribution cen- ters, is now available for lease. Andrew Houston and Adam Ardise of DTZ repre- sented the seller. The Jones Lang LaSalle Pennsylvania brokerage leasing team, led by Kim Meincke and Lee Fittipaldi , will represent the property. Woodmont will implement a capital improvement pro- gram that will include new trailer parking and the addi- tion of up to 20 loading docks. Additional renovations will give the metal-paneled build- ing a more modern feel and add extra functionality. “The property appealed to Woodmont because of its prime location in the heart of the Northeast Pennsylva- nia market. The new Avoca interchange under construc- tion now will connect Com-

merce Rd. directly to I-81, just south of the property,” said David Iacobucci , man- aging director of Woodmont Industrial Partners. “The building is highly functional in its current configuration,

but adding the new loading docks will further increase its potential.” Strategically located off of I-81 in Northeast Pennsylva- nia, the warehouse is situated just east of the Wilkes-Barre

Scranton International Air- port, and is part of the North- east Industrial Corridor. The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation has begun construction on a new ac- cess Rd. that will connect

the exit off of I-81, directly to Commerce Rd. The new interchange will connect the airport to the surrounding industrial parks, making the warehouse even more conve- niently located. n
