Lancaster Port Authority New Spec Building to Break Ground this Year

Lancaster Port Authority has announced they will be creating a new speculative building following the plans from their 2016 project; now owned by Chiyoda Integre.

This building will be 50,000 square feet -with ability to expand to 100,000 square feet- and be targeted towards high paying, large-scale, industrial employers costing the Port approximately $7M dollars.

Excess utility capacity on site, a skilled workforce and access to 45% of the US population within a one-day drive are part of the competitive advantage users have to being in Lancaster, Ohio.

Get more information on the Spec Building and other Port updates on our website!

The Lancaster Port Authority plans to construct a 50,000-square-foot spec building.
