Where 29 fuel tanks once dominated a 44-acre industrial site in Revere, Massachusetts, a new logistics hub is taking shape. Trident Logistics Center represents the strategic repositioning of the former Global Petroleum facility into a modern warehouse and distribution campus that will bring economic vitality to the city while addressing decades of environmental impact.
The site's location along Route 1A—just two miles from Logan International Airport and less than six miles from the Port of Boston's Paul W. Conley Container Terminal—makes it one of Greater Boston's most strategically positioned logistics centers. With direct access to major transportation infrastructure, the site will be able to manage airport-related, port-focused, or last-mile logistics operations.
VHB's integrated approach helped unlock the site's potential by turning regulatory complexity into a clear path forward. By coordinating civil engineering, environmental planning, and transportation analysis from the outset, our team helped navigate overlapping state and local approvals efficiently—securing site plan approval, MEPA clearance, MassDOT permits, and wetlands authorizations while maintaining project momentum. Early-phase surveying and site assessments informed design decisions that maximized the site's development capacity, while stormwater and transportation solutions addressed infrastructure constraints before they became obstacles. The result: a faster path to construction, reduced risk for the developers, and a design that positions the facility to attract tenants seeking immediate access to Boston's air and sea freight networks.
The development team, Link Logistics and Saracen Properties, completed Building A in 2026, a 367,000-square-foot speculative warehouse with 40-foot clear height, 60 loading docks, 80 trailer drops, and office and amenity space designed to meet evolving tenants needs. Phase II, which is planned to start later this year, will consist of a 267,000-square-foot speculative warehouse with 40-foot clear height, 42 loading docks, and 77 trailer drops.
Repositioning this site brings economic value to Revere. The Trident Logistics campus will create new jobs in warehouse, distribution, and logistics operations, generate additional tax revenue, and transform an underutilized industrial property into a strategic node in Greater Boston's supply chain.
