Environmental

Bridge Industrial invests in climate-resilient assets to ensure the longevity of our portfolio.

Our Brownfields Approach. We are not afraid to get our hands dirty. While many industrial developers steer clear of projects that require extensive restoration efforts, we see the potential to regenerate these outdated and contaminated sites. Utilizing our expertise in revitalizing complex properties, we develop clean and sustainable industrial facilities that attract modern, 21st-century users, resulting in positive environmental, social, and economic outcomes for the neighborhoods, communities, and municipalities where they are located.

In 2017, Bridge acquired the 103-acre campus in Perth Amboy, NJ, that had previously housed a smelting facility and had sat vacant for 17 years. Bridge restored the site to a useful condition under the guidance of a Licensed Site Remediation Professional and received a Response Action Outcome in 2018. The project created over 3,000 jobs in the community – estimated as 900 construction jobs and more than 2,200 permanent warehouse jobs upon completion of Phase II.

Bridge Point Franklin Park is a 48-acre site that was formerly owned by Magellan Pipeline Corporation and housed 26 above-ground storage tanks connected to an oil pipeline. As part of its development process, Bridge demolished the existing tanks and worked to remediate the site to achieve a No Further Remediation (NFR) letter from the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency (IEPA). The detailed work performed included: cleaning, inspecting and demolishing the existing above-ground storage tanks, hauling off the infected soils, completing the buildings and parking lot work to create a cap on the contaminated soils, all in coordination with the IEPA.

Our Green Certification Commitment

From the moment we begin designing a new facility, we work toward a sustainable, resilient future. We have pledged to pursue green building certifications using the LEED® Building Design & Construction rating system for projects in the US and the BREEAM® certification system for projects in the UK. This commitment means we design and build our properties to meet the highest levels of recognition and performance in sustainability via each program’s requirements for location and transportation, site selection and management, water and energy efficiency, materials selection and waste disposition, indoor environmental quality and occupant well-being, and more. We have already applied for LEED and BREEAM certification for several properties, and we are now participating in the LEED Volume Program.

Investing in our Communities

We are invested in the well-being of each community in which we operate. On top of the construction and permanent jobs we help create, our projects integrate key features designed to preserve and revitalize communities. Across our portfolio, this includes the use of native and drought-tolerant landscaping, stormwater retention and reuse, construction waste diversion, energy- and water-efficient design, and renewable energy installations.
