Pittsburgh International Airport Development Designed to Attract Business

Trammell Crow Co. will build two speculative industrial buildings near Pittsburgh International Airport later this year in hopes of attracting companies that can help build the region into a distribution center.

"Our primary goal ... is to put Pittsburgh on the global stage and to bring greater awareness of Pittsburgh International Airport to a larger pool of companies looking to expand their operations and enhance their competitiveness," he said.

The new buildings, ranging from about 100,000- to 220,000-square-feet, will be in a foreign trade zone and are suited to housing freight forwarders or other logistics operators, Bradford said. Air cargo eventually could be developed on land south of International Drive, to which Trammell Crow also has development rights, he added.
