Supply chain strategies have become preeminent drivers of business location decisions. The importance of supply chains to core business success has escalated with increasing speed in the last 10 years with global outsourcing of manufacturing and strategic sourcing of raw materials, components, and finished goods. Managing flows from suppliers to customers is at the heart of the new business models as the two busiest ports in the country, Los Angeles and Long Beach are straining to meet the challenges of handling a constantly growing volume of goods. With more international importers seeking alternative East Coast destinations, the Staten Island Logistics Center is well-positioned to capitalize on this opportunity.

Providing nearly a mile of water frontage on a major shipping channel, the Site will be one of a limited number of deep-water ports that can accommodate large vessels. It also has outstanding intermodal advantages including an on-site rail line as well as extensive highway access.

In addition, it is in close proximity to one of the country's largest warehouse/distribution markets. The Site's 676 acres provides enormous potential for development of its own warehouse/distribution facilities.
