Our team has a proven ability to take on even the most challenging brownfield sites. We know how to mitigate risk while creating value for our partners.
By correcting the environmental and physical limitations of a property we create productive assets that benefit the community, create jobs and eliminate unsightly landmarks.
The results speak for themselves, as multiple City, State and Federal approvals were received within 12 months on the largest brownfield and storm water project in Philadelphia history.

J.G. Petrucci recently started demolition on Guardian Life Insurance’s former Lehigh Valley office building located at 3900 Burgess Place in Hanover Township, Pennsylvania. The firm will demolish the 196,823 sq. ft., three building structure, to make way for a three building, 470,000 sq. ft., flex industrial center that will be branded as Lehigh Valley Flex Center.
Lehigh Valley Flex Center will transform an obsolete office building in the Lehigh Valley. The new development will offer state-of-the-art warehouse and manufacturing lease options to operators looking to reach over 40% of the United States population within a day’s drive.
In South Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, J.G. Petrucci partnered with Richard Thompson, former CEO of Freshpet, Inc., to redevelop and revitalize a historical Bethlehem Steel building.
The Factory LLC, a company founded by Thompson, knew that they needed a development team with strong roots and strategic Lehigh Valley relationships to achieve their vision for the historic property. J.G. Petrucci worked with the Factory to strategically design and construct a building that houses all the resources and expertise needed to support innovation and growth for emerging companies.
Some notable building features include a shared, state-of-the-art commercial kitchen, with live video production capabilities, and food safety areas. In addition, the team created a unique concept for the office spaces and conference rooms by repurposing and furnishing shipping containers. The team also paid homage to the building’s industrial roots by replicating the industrial window style, and preserving one of the original cranes that was used by Bethlehem Steel. By keeping these features, the team retained the character of the old Bethlehem Steel building while bringing new life into it with this exciting food-innovation use.
