Located at 12375 William A. Gwaltney Way in Shirley T. Holland Intermodal Park, 460 Commerce Center will provide +/- 352,000 square feet of light industrial manufacturing / warehouse space.

W.M. Jordan Development designed the concrete tilt-wall building with features in demand by cargo owners, third-party logistics firms, and Port of Virginia customers. The building’s 36’ clear height and cross-dock design set the development apart in the Hampton Roads market. The speculative building will deliver with eighty (80) dock doors and two (2) drive-in doors installed. Scheduled completion date is third quarter 2025.
