FRANKLIN, Pa., Nov. 2, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — An affiliate of Phoenix Investors (“Phoenix“) announced the acquisition of an approximately 465,000-square-foot industrial building located at 345 Buffalo Street in Franklin, Pennsylvania. Featuring both industrial and warehouse space, the facility includes an impressive 42 overhead cranes with capacities up to 40 tons, 7 dock doors, 10 drive-in doors, and clear heights up to 44 feet. Situated on 47.05 acres and boasting 525 surface spots spread across two main lots, the property is primed for heavy industrial engagement.
The facility features valuable frontage on Buffalo Street, 6th Street, 4th Street, 3rd Street, and Liberty Street. It is conveniently located just 16 miles north of I-80, 20 miles east of I-79, 66 miles from Erie, and 72 miles from Pittsburgh.
Constructed in 1970, the facility was formerly home to Joy Global, a supplier of underground mining equipment that was acquired by Komatsu Mining Corporation in 2016. Phoenix currently owns 8 facilities in Pennsylvania and maintains holdings in surplus of 3.6 million square feet throughout the state.
“Not only does this property have great bones and heavy industrial infrastructure, the existing power and cranes are highly desirable for a manufacturer,” said Phoenix Investors Chairman & Founder Frank Crivello. “Investing in communities like Franklin exemplifies our mission and philosophy at Phoenix Investors. We’re excited to see what the future holds for this facility as well as those who call Franklin home.”
“The City of Franklin is beyond excited to see Joy Plant 1, an important part of Franklin’s industrial heritage and the provider to generations of Franklin families’ livelihoods, become productive again,” said City Manager & City Clerk Tracy L. Jamieson. “We are thankful to Phoenix Investors for its strategic vision; Franklin will be as supportive as possible in bringing that to fruition. We are also thankful to Komatsu and its employees that have kept the building heated and maintained so that this new chapter is possible.”
