In a move that marks a significant milestone for commerce and community development in Tehaleh, Brookfield Properties and Panattoni Development Company, Inc. celebrated the commencement of construction for the eagerly anticipated Tall Firs Industrial Park. This groundbreaking event heralds the beginning of a new chapter for the 112-acre Commerce Center south of Bonney Lake, reflecting the area’s commitment to driving commercial growth and creating employment opportunities.
With a chunk of the town’s 475 acres earmarked for commercial purposes, the project is a testament to Tehaleh’s ambitious vision for fostering a vibrant economic ecosystem.
The development of Tall Firs Industrial Park is poised to significantly impact the local business landscape. It will offer up to 216,243 square feet of state-of-the-art industrial space across two buildings. Emphasizing flexibility and efficiency, the project promises Class A amenities, including high clearance spaces and versatile loading options, catering to various business needs.
This initiative is not just about infrastructure; it’s a strategic move designed to support local enterprises by giving them room to grow and eliminating the need for employees to face long commutes. Additionally, the involvement of local firms like Poe Construction and architectural experts at Synthesis highlights the project’s commitment to leveraging homegrown expertise.
At the heart of Tall Firs Industrial Park’s vision is the drive to bolster job growth within Tehaleh and its surroundings. Scott Jones from Brookfield Properties emphasized the project’s role in making it feasible for residents to work closer to home, enhancing their quality of life. This initiative is expected to draw considerable commercial interest, further amplified by the upcoming New Rhodes Lake Road East construction, which promises to connect Tehaleh with the broader Puyallup Valley better.
With completion projected for the second quarter of 2025, Tall Firs Industrial Park is set to become a cornerstone of Tehaleh’s commercial and community development, ushering in a new era of economic vitality and job creation for the region.
As construction progresses, the local community can look forward to the economic benefits and the positive ripple effects these developments will bring to the area. From fostering a stronger sense of community to propelling Tehaleh onto a larger stage in terms of commercial and industrial innovation, the establishment of Tall Firs Industrial Park represents a significant leap forward.
