New leasing activity occurred in eight U.S. markets this year, with the largest lease in Philadelphia at Middlesex Center Building II totaling 751,450 square feet.

 “Our 2013 numbers for leases are promising, with this being one of the strongest quarters in IDI’s history,” said Tim Gunter, IDI’s President and Chief Executive Officer.

“More importantly, we believe this marks hard proof of a resurgence in our industry. Every region is seeing activity and IDI is motivated to continue to be an industrial leader and grow our portfolio all while providing our customers with quality buildings that offer long-term value.”
