Heights at Thorn Hill
A purpose-built, high-performing flex park shaped through Elmhurst’s continuing partnership with RIDC and Cranberry Township.
Heights at Thorn Hill comprises two 60,000 square foot flex buildings within the highly desirable Thorn Hill Industrial Park—one of the region’s most competitive industrial submarkets. Completed in 2019, the buildings offer 24’ clear heights, efficient floorplates, expansive parking, and flexible configurations suitable for single-story office, R&D, light manufacturing, assembly, engineering, or showroom/warehouse uses. With excellent visibility, immediate access to I-79 and the Pennsylvania Turnpike, and proximity to Cranberry Township’s retail and hospitality corridors, the campus attracts tenants seeking high-quality industrial space in a growth-oriented suburban environment.

Expanding a Proven Partnership in Cranberry Township
Heights at Thorn Hill represents Elmhurst’s second major collaboration with RIDC, following the success of the Commons at Thorn Hill. Built on one of the final development parcels in the industrial park, the project reflects long-standing trust between the organizations—trust earned through disciplined execution, market insight, and a shared commitment to supporting regional economic development. RIDC’s stewardship of the broader Thorn Hill campus provided a foundation for coordinated planning, infrastructure alignment, and community benefit.
Today, the Heights supports a wide mix of national and regional companies—ranging from advanced manufacturing to engineering services—each contributing to the strong employment base in Cranberry Township. The project reinforces the area’s profile as a hub for high-value industrial and R&D operations, complementing local amenities, workforce strengths, and transportation infrastructure. For the township and the businesses within it, Heights at Thorn Hill serves as another example of how thoughtful private–public collaboration can drive sustainable, long-term growth.
Delivering Flexible Industrial Space in a Supply-Constrained Market
The Heights development emerged from a clear investment thesis: industrial flex space in Cranberry Township was both in high demand and structurally under-supplied. Elmhurst leveraged the momentum of its earlier RIDC partnership to secure the final developable sites and deliver two phased buildings designed to meet a wide range of technical and operational needs. This approach mitigated leasing risk, expanded tenant optionality, and ensured the product aligned with the evolving requirements of regional and national companies.
Since completion, Heights at Thorn Hill has maintained strong occupancy, supported by tenants such as Xylem Water Solutions, RedZone Robotics, Hanel Storage Systems, and Vestis. These organizations value access to major highways, reliable infrastructure, and a well-managed industrial environment. The project demonstrates Elmhurst’s disciplined investment strategy: identify high-performing locations, partner with mission-aligned institutions, and develop adaptable, durable assets that deliver long-term value.
