Cut Your Costs by 32%!

On average, using an “apples to apples” comparison, the cost to lease quality industrial space is about $3.40 per square foot less in Northeastern Pennsylvania than in the Lehigh Valley.  And real estate taxes? Here, you’ll pay $0.75 to $0.95 per square foot compared to the $1.00 to $1.90 per square foot you’ll likely pay in the Lehigh Valley.  We even have special tax abatement zones where you’ll pay next to nothing.
