Realterm announced today the acquisition of a 21,000-square-foot final mile warehouse located at 34-52 Laurel Hill Boulevard in the Maspeth submarket of New York, New York. The unique building is designed to accommodate final-mile fulfillment as well as food and beverage distribution. The property has 30 loading positions, the capability to load on three sides for efficient cross-docking, ample parking and multiple points to enter and exit the property.

The 1.5-acre site is five miles from LaGuardia Airport, 13 miles from John F. Kennedy International Airport and five miles from the largest shipping port along the U.S. East Coast, the Port of New York and New Jersey.
