Binswanger Brokers Sale of Fully Leased Industrial Outside Storage (IOS) Property in Philadelphia, PA

PHILADELPHIA, PA – November 6, 2023 – Binswanger, an innovator in commercial real estate since 1931, announced today that it has brokered the sale of 2625 and 2503R Wheatsheaf Lane in Philadelphia’s Port Richmond neighborhood to Triten Real Estate Partners on behalf of Ellis Property Development, LLC.

Totaling approximately 57,000 square feet on 6.85 acres, the property boasts 30 exterior loading docks, four drive-ins, frontage on I-95, and proximity to the Tioga Terminal.  

The sale was brokered by Binswanger’s Mid-Atlantic Industrial Team, led by Senior Vice President and Partner, Chris Pennington with support from Tim Pennington, Mike Torsiello, and Nick Maras. The opportunity was sourced off-market through a strong industry relationship with Triten, which is known for its level of experience with this niche product type and as a leading buyer of IOS products nationally.

“The Philadelphia IOS market has continued to thrive even with the recent interest rate increases due to the lack of available comparable sites with I-2 Industrial zoning and proximity to Interstate 95,” said Binswanger’s Chris Pennington. “We were able to stabilize the vacant facility with two excellent credit-worthy tenants and subsequently sell the building.”

The buyer, Triten Real Estate Partners, is a leading national real estate investment, development, and operating firm with a focus on industrial and IOS properties. The property represents Triten’s first acquisition in Pennsylvania and a continuation of the firm’s strengthening position in Mid-Atlantic markets.

“The opportunity represents a flagship for our growth into the Philadelphia/South Jersey markets,” says Danny Coffman, Principal for Triten, Mid-Atlantic. “It was a pleasure working with Chris Pennington and the rest of the Binswanger team, who helped navigate the deal process from start to finish.”
