Overview
Coastal Logistics Center is an 814,105 SF Class A warehouse that serves as a modern approach to Virginia’s Critical role in commerce and logistics. Strategically located at the Port of Virginia in Suffolk, this facility has been designed to meet the demands of progressive logistics with efficiency and flexibility.
The center’s direct access to U.S. Route 13 and Interstates 64 and 95 makes it an ideal location for tenants looking to engage in quick and efficient distribution networks along the East Coast.
The industrial facility features a versatile layout and premium infrastructure that enhance its appeal in the Hampton Roads commercial real estate market. With its expansive cross-docked building design, the center accommodates spaces ranging from 203,580 SF to a maximum of 610,525 SF, offering a flexible footprint to serve diverse tenant needs.
This adaptability ensures that the Coastal Logistics Center can accommodate both small and large-scale logistics operations, making it an attractive choice for companies in need of scalable solutions.
A significant feature of the Coastal Logistics Center is its close location at the Port of Virginia, a historic and economically vital trade hub for the East Coast. The port’s strategic importance is underscored by its deep harbor channels that can accommodate the largest container ships and bulk vessels, contributing to Virginia’s stature in both military and commercial sectors. With over 70 maritime-related companies operating in the area, the port is a “nucleus” of trade, supporting a wide array of industries from ship repair to customs brokerage.
This location allows companies to leverage a robust transportation network, including two major Class I railroads (Norfolk Southern and CSX) and an extensive interstate system, providing efficient connections to major inland distribution points and 75% of the U.S. population within a two-day drive. Additionally, Virginia’s investments in port infrastructure, including the development of the new Craney Island Terminal, underscore the state’s commitment to expanding its logistics capabilities for the future.
Coastal Logistics Center represents a significant commercial real estate contributor to the Hampton Roads economy. The region, home to 1.8 million residents, has a skilled labor force of nearly 889,000 people. The center’s development has created numerous job opportunities in construction, operations, and logistics, offering stable, high-quality employment in Suffolk and the surrounding areas. The workforce is bolstered by the Hampton Roads area’s high percentage of ex-military personnel—over 14,000 individuals transition into civilian life each year. This population brings valuable skills and expertise that are well-suited to the logistics and transportation sectors, creating a highly capable labor pool that benefits employers at the Coastal Logistics Center.
Built on a 71.1-acre site, Coastal Logistics Center is constructed with state-of-the-art facilities that contribute to its Class A rating. Key design elements include a 36-foot clear height, 50’ x 52’ column spacing (with a 60’ speed bay), and 82 dock doors with the infrastructure to expand to 175 doors if needed, enabling a seamless flow of goods. The structure’s 7-inch-thick, unreinforced slab
construction (4,000 PSI) is designed to handle the rigors of heavy logistics operations, while a robust 45-mil white TPO roofing system with R-20 insulation provides durability and energy efficiency. Additionally, the site offers substantial parking options with 324 auto parking spaces and 386 trailer spaces, including two extended trailer parking lots at the entrance.
The warehouse is equipped with advanced environmental and safety measures, including ESFR (Early Suppression, Fast Response) fire protection and LED lighting at 30 foot-candles. This ensures a safe, well-lit environment that meets both tenant and regulatory standards. The facility’s electrical infrastructure, with a 3,000-amp, 480/227V service, is designed to support modern logistics
operations, providing ample power for a variety of operational needs.
As a modern logistics facility, Coastal Logistics Center incorporates sustainable design principles that align with both environmental and economic goals. The building’s reinforced concrete walls are finished with textured paint, enhancing durability and reducing maintenance requirements. The white roof deck helps reflect sunlight, reducing heat gain and contributing to energy efficiency, while the LED lighting and efficient HVAC systems further minimize environmental impact. These features not only support the operational requirements of tenants but also demonstrate a commitment to sustainability and energy efficiency, a priority for companies focused on reducing their carbon footprint.
