CDC Buys Largest Development-Ready Tract of Land in Philadelphia Market
Commercial Development Company Inc. (CDC) announces the purchase of a 138-acre development-ready tract of land in northeast Philadelphia. The site was purchased from TEVA Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd., who had once selected this site as an expansion location.
The site has been unoccupied for 8 years, however CDC now believes the timing is right for new development. CDC has developed a market-ready plan to bring in end users who will take advantage of the site's attractive development attributes.
"This is the largest development-ready tract of land in the Philadelphia market," said Steve Collins, Executive Vice President of CDC, "Aside from the size of the property, our market analysis indicates significant potential for development due to the site's location, industrial zoning, the KOZ designation, and access to Philly's strong and skilled workforce."

Brownfield Redevelopment Update: Tanners Creek Power Plant
CDC is making significant progress in its efforts to redevelop the Tanners Creek Power Plant, a retired coal-fired power plant site once generating 1000 MW along the Ohio River.
In Fall of 2016, CDC purchased the plant and real estate assets from Indiana Michigan Power (I&M), a unit of American Electric Power (AEP). During the transaction, CDC affiliate Environmental Liability Transfer, Inc. (ELT) assumed responsibility for environmental liabilities associated with the site.
Since that time CDC has been working to reposition the site and d
evelop a market-ready plan to return the retired energy asset to productive use. CDC believes the site has enormous potential for new development and job creation for the greater Southeast Indiana-Cincinnati region.

Demolition
Building demolition at Tanners Creek is nearly complete and will be finished by mid-2018.

Demolition of the site is being completed by Industrial Demolition LLC, an affiliate company created by CDC to provide demolition support for the Company's many ongoing brownfield reclamation projects.
"I am very pleased with the tremendous progress our team has made at Tanners Creek - the efficiencies and work ethic they have shown throughout the process has shaved years off our original estimates and positioned the site for new opportunities faster than expected." --Randall Jostes, ELT CEO
