The Region’s Warehouse Boom

The number of warehouses larger than 20,000 square feet in the Philadelphia region has grown dramatically in recent years, from 24 in 2020 to 189 that are either existing or scheduled to be completed by 2025. The 55 million square feet of warehouse space occupied by local warehouses would encompass the entirety of West Chester in suburban Pennsylvania, or Collingswood in South Jersey.

More than 70% of the warehouses, and 85% of the combined space, are clustered within three miles of the major highways that parallel the Delaware River — I-95, I-295, and the New Jersey Turnpike.

Circle sizes are proportional to a warehouse’s square footage.
