Investment Thesis

America's Pharma Belt
Needs Cold Infrastructure.

PhilaPort is the fastest-growing cold-chain seaport in the United States, anchoring a pharmaceutical corridor that stretches from Boston to Washington DC — the densest concentration of biotech, mRNA, and medical device manufacturing on earth. Yet the region's cold storage infrastructure is critically undersupplied.

The ColdPort Philadelphia SPV delivers a 261,000 SF GDP-compliant facility with USDA inspection rooms, high-bay automation, and biopharma-grade zones — built directly at PhilaPort, giving 40% of the US population one-day transit access to the most advanced cold-chain seaport hub in the country.

Port-Side Pharma. GDP Compliant.

From vessel to validated cold store — without breaking the pharmaceutical chain.
