REVERE, MA — Gilbane Building Company, a contractor of industrial and advanced manufacturing facilities nationwide, recently celebrated the groundbreaking of the first phase of the Trident Logistics Center. Link Logistics and Saracen Properties are leading the development of the Class A, two-phase speculative project, which will deliver 635,000 square feet of high-bay warehouse space in Revere, Massachusetts.
Situated just 2 miles from Logan International Airport and less than 6 miles from Conley Terminal, Trident Logistics Center will be Boston, Massachusetts’ newest logistics hub upon completion in late 2025. The site offers opportunities for urban industrial use and is positioned for airport-related, port-focused, or last-mile logistics.
“Just 3 miles north of downtown Boston, the forthcoming Trident Logistics Center will provide optimally located space for a variety of urban industrial uses,” said Justin MacEachern, Gilbane’s Vice President of Massachusetts and Northern New England. “With 20 percent of the state’s industrial workforce — over 146,000 people — located within 10 miles of the project, the site offers unparalleled access to a local, skilled talent pool. We are thrilled to continue expanding our industrial and logistics portfolio within the Greater Boston area and supporting this growing industry.”
Gilbane’s scope of work throughout the first phase of the new development includes the ground-up construction of Building A, a 367,000-square-foot warehouse facility offering 40-foot ceilings, 60 loading docks, ESFR sprinkler heads, concrete slab on grade, and an envelope of tilt-up precast concrete panels with structural steel. The interior of the project will also include 4,000 square feet of office and amenity space.
The 23-acre project site was originally an oil tank farm that was dismantled and remediated earlier this year to make way for new construction. The site will be surcharged with 3 to 4 feet of imported soil and wick drains that will result in 12 inches to 24 inches of onsite settlement. The ground improvements are 4,400 rigid inclusions with a foundation of pile caps and spread footings. The facility is also targeting LEED-v4 certification to further energy efficiency and reduce carbon emissions.
