CRH to relocate Harrisburg facility to Susquehanna Township

Fayette County-based full-line industrial catering and food service company CRH Catering is relocating its Harrisburg branch to two recently purchased buildings in Susquehanna Township, Dauphin County.

Mechanicsburg-based Lee & Associates of Eastern Pennsylvania announced on Tuesday that it recently brokered the sale of two buildings to Cordaro Realty Holdings LLC for an undisclosed price. The buying entity of the property is CRH’s holding company.

The property is located at 3303-3307 N. Sixth St. and is made up of one 51,200-square-foot building and another 10,870-square-foot building. One of the buildings is equipped with five truck height doors and both feature close proximity to Interstate 81 and PA routes 22 and 322.

According to Lee & Associates, CRH plans to relocate its Harrisburg location at 1235 S. Harrisburg St., to the new property.

CRH Catering distributes its products across the Mid-Atlantic region with facilities in Harrisburg, Altoona and Allentown, Pennsylvania; Hagerstown and Glen Bernie, Maryland; and Yorktown and Ashland, Virginia.

Bradley Swidler, a principal at Lee & Associates, said that the buildings were excellently maintained and will require minimum retrofitting to fit CRH’s needs. He added that staying in the midstate was a critical aspect of the real estate search for CRH, seeing as though it wanted to stay close by to its Central Pennsylvania customers.

“This represented an excellent investment opportunity for CRH Catering that will enable the company to build equity in its owned real estate,” explained Bradley Swidler, a principal at Lee & Associates of Eastern Pennsylvania. “CRH Catering has an excellent grasp of its long-term expansion requirements, and these assets provide the required space for its operations and logistics both now and in the future.”

CRH was not immediately available to comment on the company’s move out of Harrisburg.
