Pittsburgh Airport Business Park
A foundational industrial development that established Elmhurst’s long-term leadership in Pittsburgh’s airport-area logistics corridor.
Pittsburgh Airport Business Park (PABP) is a 262,000 square foot distribution and manufacturing industrial park composed of eight buildings positioned immediately adjacent to the Pittsburgh International Airport. Developed for efficiency and connectivity, PABP offers tenants quick access to I-376 and Route 60. With excellent visibility, functional layouts, and durable industrial design, the park has remained a resilient logistics hub ideally suited for distribution, manufacturing, transportation, and service-oriented operators.

Strengthening Pittsburgh’s Regional Logistics Network Through Long-Term Stewardship
Elmhurst’s development of Pittsburgh Airport Business Park marked the beginning of a decades-long commitment to supporting the region’s industrial backbone. As one of the earliest modern warehouse and distribution campuses near the airport, PABP aligned directly with the economic priorities of Western Pennsylvania—enhancing freight movement, enabling supply-chain reliability, and providing a strategic home for transportation, rental equipment, healthcare logistics, and industrial service providers. Over the years, the park has served as a quiet but essential node within the regional economy, supporting businesses whose work powers construction, medical services, airport operations, and regional goods movement.
Long-term collaboration with a diverse tenant base has been central to the park’s success. PABP’s roster—including United Rentals, Sunbelt Rentals, Bisson Transportation, Forward Air, Xpress Global Systems, and Fresenius—reflects the durable industrial partnerships that define Elmhurst’s approach. By maintaining highly functional buildings, predictable operations, and responsive property management, Elmhurst has created stability for employers who depend on reliability, speed, and proximity to airport infrastructure. The result is a campus that continually supports local jobs, regional trade activity, and long-term tenant success.
A High-Performing, Irreplaceable Industrial Asset Anchored by Location and Demand
As Elmhurst’s first industrial development, Pittsburgh Airport Business Park established the firm’s disciplined strategy for identifying and executing industrial-focused investments. The park’s success is tied directly to the fundamental drivers of the industrial sector: proximity to multimodal transportation and Pittsburgh International Airport, functional and replicable warehouse layouts, and resilient tenant demand. Purpose-built to serve these needs, PABP has maintained strong occupancy for decades, validating the original thesis that well-located distribution assets near the airport would form a critical—and scarce—piece of Pittsburgh’s industrial inventory.
For investors, PABP represents a “workhorse” industrial property: low obsolescence risk, diversified tenancy, limited ongoing capital requirements, and enduring competitive advantage due to its location. Recreating a similar portfolio today—adjacent to airport cargo terminals, with visibility along a major corridor, and built prior to restrictive modern permitting—would be exceptionally challenging. The property’s consistent performance underscores Elmhurst’s ability to deploy capital into foundational assets that compound in value over time through stable cash flow, tenant retention, and sustained relevance within the regional supply chain.
