Link Logistics, a New York-based subsidiary of Blackstone Inc., has filed plans to overhaul an aging warehouse campus in Kent, Washington, signaling a major upgrade to the industrial footprint at the site. The proposed project focuses on 8118 S. 208th St., where the company intends to modernize the property with new Class A logistics space.
According to reporting from the Puget Sound Business Journal, Link Logistics plans to demolish four existing warehouse structures on the campus and replace them with two speculative Class A industrial buildings. The new buildings are designed to total 469,530 square feet, positioning the property as a large-format logistics location within the Kent industrial corridor.
The redevelopment plan calls for one of the five existing buildings on the site to remain in place. With that structure retained, the combined building area across the campus would exceed half a million square feet once the project is fully built out, although a precise total was not disclosed. The strategy effectively consolidates older facilities into a smaller number of larger, modern buildings while maintaining an additional existing structure.
Project documents indicate that Link Logistics intends to develop a concrete tilt-up warehouse and logistics facility, consistent with contemporary industrial development standards. The plans include 655 parking spaces to support employee and operational needs across the reconfigured campus. The new buildings are slated to rise 42 feet in height, providing the vertical clearances typically sought by modern distribution, logistics and last-mile users.
The redevelopment effort underscores Link Logistics’ existing scale in the broader Seattle industrial market. The company already holds a sizable presence in the region, with a Seattle-area portfolio comprising 66 industrial properties totaling 7.3 million square feet. This footprint reflects an established operating platform in and around Seattle, of which Kent is a key industrial submarket.
More broadly, Link Logistics specializes in last-mile warehouses and distribution facilities across the United States. The company owns and operates more than 3,000 properties nationally, leveraging its scale to serve a range of logistics and e-commerce users. The Kent proposal aligns with that strategy by repositioning an aging campus into a modern, high-clearance industrial facility with significant parking and logistics capacity.
While specific timelines, development costs and leasing plans were not disclosed, the proposal illustrates continued investment in upgrading older industrial product to meet current logistics and distribution requirements. The project would add substantial new Class A space to the Kent warehouse inventory once completed.
