The first phase of this project involves the construction of three buildings spanning a total area of 235,900ft².

With 20ft–32ft heights, these buildings will offer features such as spacious truck courts, rear-loaded docks, drive-in capabilities and ample parking with trailer storage.

Located at 10301 Philadelphia Road in White Marsh, the 56-acre project is part of Merritt’s Baltimore County east portfolio, which currently enjoys a high occupancy rate of 95%.

In 2021, Merritt acquired the site, which was previously occupied by the General Motors Baltimore Global Propulsions Systems facility until its closure in 2019.

Baltimore County executive Johnny Olszewski said: “Merritt Properties’ investment in this dynamic redevelopment project will welcome dozens of new businesses, creating jobs for working families and bringing new opportunities to our communities.

“We are excited about Merritt Properties’ clear vision for the future of this site that will support economic growth in eastern Baltimore County for years to come.”
