Situated on a 16 acre site near the I-90 and Randall Road interchange, the precast building features 32' clear height, ESFR fireprotection system, 24 exterior docks and 4 drive-in doors. All iHerb’s distribution centers are Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) registered and are kept at a cool, climate-controlled environment of 74-75 degrees Fahrenheit (23-24degrees Celsius), and have large walk-in refrigeration units for items such as those containing acidophilus that require regulated temperatures.

Morgan Harbour also performed the full-tenant buildout at iHerb's east coast fulfillment center in Easton, Pennsylvania.
