The Navy Yard is a modern, sustainable urban campus that arose from the ashes of the former Philadelphia Naval Shipyard. PIDC is the master developer for The Navy Yard, where more than $1 billion has been invested creating a vibrant waterfront home for over 11,000 employees and more than 145 companies in the office, manufacturing, and research and development sectors, including Aker Philadelphia Shipyard, Rhoads Industries, and GlaxoSmithKline.
RevZilla.com – a forward thinking tech and ecommerce company distributing premium motorcycle apparel, parts, and accessories – recognizes why the South Philadelphia campus is so attractive for growing businesses.
RevZilla worked with PIDC and its development partners Liberty Property Trust/Synterra L.P. to relocate its office, showroom, and warehouse to a new, state-of-the-art headquarters at The Navy Yard Commerce Center. After just a year, RevZilla expanded again, renovating a 65,000 square foot warehouse and fulfillment center and adding 60 new workers to a staff of more than 100 – impressive growth for a company that started in an Old City living room in 2007.
