Paris Accessories recently sold the former
275,000 square foot plant to OCS Logistics, the regional third party logistics
services provider for refrigerated products. The industrial facility is located
in the Queen City Industrial Park on 15 acres near the Lehigh Street Exit of
I-78.
With this additional facility, OCS Logistics will operate nearly
1.1 million square feet of temperature controlled space with four distribution
facilities to service their national and regional accounts. OCS chose an
existing facility over new construction as part of their corporate focus upon
environmental and sustainability values. They chose this urban property as part
of their efforts to revitalize the City of Allentown.
The following major
modifications are being made to this older building: Raising the roof from a
16’ to a 30’ height, renovating the building using “green “ materials and
guidelines, and adding refrigeration equipment. OCS anticipates an initial
hiring of 50 additional employees and more job growth as the building
modifications are completed.
