DHL Distribution Facility
Allentown Crossings
The DHL Distribution Facility at the Allentown Crossings is a 290,000 square foot built-to-suit project for DHL. The building will be used as a package sorting and distribution facility. The new facility will be the principal DHL distribution center on the East Coast of the United States, the most significant concentration of businesses and consumers in the U.S., and will serve all major metropolitan areas in the region. The new state-of-the art facility will employ approximately 340 people from the local community and will have a handling capacity of 40,000 letters per hour/50,000 parcels per hour.

The mechanical systems for this building consist of eleven AbsolutAire R Series direct-fired heating and ventilating units. The units are controlled using AbsolutAire’s building pressure control system, which keeps the facility at a positive pressure to control infiltration through the 178 exterior truck dock doors.
