Developing Near JFK: The Industrial Opportunity for Vertical Logistics

As demand for modern industrial space surges near key transportation gateways, the area surrounding JFK International Airport has emerged as a focal point for logistics innovation. With industrial vacancy rates at historic lows and e-commerce driving unprecedented need for fast-turnaround facilities, developers are turning to vertical logistics as a scalable solution. Terminal Logistics Center—Triangle Equities’ 300,000-square-foot, multi-story industrial hub in Queens—is leading this shift.

 Designed with two ground-level loading floors, 26-foot clear heights, and robust structural capacity, the facility sets a new standard for urban logistics. Its strategic proximity to JFK supports time-sensitive air cargo operations and next-generation industries—such as cell and gene therapy manufacturers—who prize immediate access to global distribution channels. The rise of multi-level, high-spec industrial development marks not only an evolution in design but a long-term structural realignment in how modern supply chains take shape in dense urban markets.
