HANOVER TWP., PA — J.G. Petrucci, one of the region’s leading development and design/build construction firms, started demolition on Guardian Life Insurance’s former Lehigh Valley office building located at 3900 Burgess Place in Hanover Twp. The firm will demolish the 196,823 s/f, three building structure, to make way for a three building, 470,000 s/f, flex industrial center that will be branded as Lehigh Valley Flex Center.
Lehigh Valley Flex Center will address the need of users in the region seeking flexible lease options for requirements that range from 50,000 s/f – 160,000 s/f
“An important and often overlooked element of economic development is the redevelopment of brownfields and the rehabilitation of vacant buildings into new, vibrant uses for the region,” said Don Cunningham, president and CEO of Lehigh Valley Economic Development Corporation. “We’re grateful that J.G. Petrucci has once again breathed new life into another Lehigh Valley property, particularly one that serves the growing need for smaller industrial flex space in the region to meet manufacturing demand.”
