A. Duie Pyle Breaks Ground on 200,000 SF Warehouse at Port 460 Logistics Center in Suffolk

A. Duie Pyle has purchased a 43-acre site at Port 460 Logistics Center in Suffolk, Virginia, and broken ground on a 200,000-square-foot integrated warehouse and LTL service center. The development, a joint venture project by Matan Companies and Rockefeller Group, represents the first tenant at the industrial park near the Port of Virginia.

The 101-year-old family-owned logistics provider announced the transaction on January 21, 2026, with an estimated completion date of Q2 2027. The facility, located at 3047 Starboard Court, will combine a 52-door LTL cross-dock with warehouse operations under one roof, with expansion potential to 420,000 square feet.

Integrated Warehouse Real Estate and Transportation Hub

The industrial real estate development will support multiple service offerings including warehousing and distribution, transloading, LTL services, contract dedicated services, drayage, and truckload management brokerage. The integrated approach enables customers to access storage, transportation, and final-mile network services from a single location.

"Our expansion in the Suffolk–Norfolk market reflects a strategic response to the rapidly evolving demands of today's supply chain," said Frank Granieri, Chief Commercial Officer at A. Duie Pyle. "In recent years, shippers have navigated unprecedented disruptions, elevating the need for speed, resilience and adaptability across their networks. By establishing this integrated warehouse and LTL service center near the Port of Virginia, we're not just enhancing our capacity; we're addressing the pressing need for more efficient, adaptive solutions that streamline operations in a high-demand market."

Granieri added that the facility will drive transparency, improve supply chain connectivity, and deliver the flexibility and speed required for shippers to remain competitive.

Strategic Location Near Port of Virginia

The warehouse real estate project is positioned to provide seamless connections into the Northeast, Mid-Atlantic, and Ohio freight corridors given its proximity to the Port of Virginia, a key hub of import and export freight activity along the East Coast. The facility will support A. Duie Pyle's transportation network stretching from Virginia to Maine and west through Ohio.

First Tenant at Port 460 Logistics Center

"Matan and Rockefeller Group are pleased to welcome the first tenant to Port 460," said JP Matan, Director of Leasing at Matan Companies. "Pyle is a well-respected name in the logistics industry."

Economic Impact and Job Creation

The new facility is expected to create jobs within the first year of operation, with positions spanning warehouse staff to drivers contributing to the growth of A. Duie Pyle's service network. As the facility becomes fully operational, it is expected to increase employment in the area and bolster the local economy.
