DSV – Global Transport and Logistics has started construction on a new regional warehouse hub in Hillsboro, Oregon, marking a major consolidation of its contract logistics footprint in the state. The facility is planned at 750,000 square feet, an industrial-scale building that DSV says is designed specifically to meet the needs of its semiconductor customers across Oregon.
The project is being built by ARCO Design/Build and is scheduled to deliver in 2027. DSV describes the building as a purpose-built contract logistics facility, tailored to handle the specialized demands and pace of activity associated with semiconductor manufacturing and distribution.
According to the company, the new hub will bring together operations currently housed in three separate Oregon locations in Sherwood and Tualatin. Those existing facilities total about 385,000 square feet combined, meaning the Hillsboro project will nearly double DSV’s current warehouse footprint in the state once it is fully operational at 750,000 square feet.
All employees from the Sherwood and Tualatin sites are expected to transition to the Hillsboro facility. DSV indicates that the move is intended to streamline operations and centralize services for semiconductor customers while providing a single, larger platform for contract logistics activities.
Josh Summers, CEO of DSV Contract Logistics North America, said manufacturers in the Portland area are pushing the limits of the semiconductor industry and that the new facility is intended to provide a logistics partner that can match that level of performance. The company positions the Hillsboro hub as a response to these customers’ advanced requirements and production intensity.
The project underscores the continued role of large-scale industrial facilities in supporting semiconductor supply chains, particularly in established manufacturing regions. By consolidating three locations into one modern hub, DSV aims to align its logistics infrastructure more closely with how its semiconductor customers are operating across Oregon.
Separately, Connect CRE is promoting its Connect Industrial West 2026 conference, scheduled for August 20. The event will feature senior leaders from active industrial real estate firms discussing investment strategies, market fundamentals, leasing trends, and emerging opportunities across the West Coast.
