LogistiCenter Louisville will feature 32-feet clear height, 60 dock doors, four drive-in doors, 336 car parking stalls and 73 trailer stalls.

“LogistiCenter Louisville will be a state-of-the-art industrial facility with multiple transportation and design advantages,” said Brian Quigley, partner, Dermody Properties Midwest Region Office. “The location of the building is across the street from the UPS ground sorting facility, Centennial Hub, adjacent to the Louisville Airport and less than one half mile to I-65.”

Dermody Properties purchased the land earlier this year from the Louisville Renaissance Zone Corp. (LRZC), a Louisville International Airport-affiliated agency that oversees the development of the airport’s Renaissance South Business Park. The business park is a 450-acre complex located immediately south of the Louisville International Airport. Renaissance South Business Park is also near United Parcel Service’s (UPS) air-cargo hub, Worldport, and its ground sorting facility, Centennial Hub. The site’s proximity to these major transportation and shipping hubs makes it an excellent location for distribution operations.

“We are delighted to welcome Dermody Properties and their LogistiCenter Louisville facility to the growing list of successful projects in the Renaissance South Business Park near Louisville International Airport,” said Phil Lynch, chairman of the board for LRZC.
