DSV breaks ground on 750,000-square-foot Oregon warehouse hub

DSV has started construction on a new 750,000-square-foot warehouse hub in Hillsboro, Oregon, designed to consolidate three existing sites and support semiconductor customers statewide. The project underscores the company’s expansion in a fast-growing chip corridor and is slated for completion around July 2027. Why it matters: - The new hub is built to support Oregon’s semiconductor supply chain, a sector that depends on secure storage, faster fulfillment and tighter inventory control. - DSV is consolidating three Oregon locations into one larger facility, which should improve coordination and give the company room to scale with customer demand. - The project adds a major logistics investment to Hillsboro’s Technology Park and reinforces the city’s role in the semiconductor ecosystem. What happened: - DSV broke ground Wednesday, June 17, on its new Oregon Regional Warehouse Hub in Hillsboro. - The facility will total 750,000 square feet, more than thirteen football fields. - The site is designed as a purpose-built contract logistics center for DSV’s semiconductor customers across Oregon. - The event included DSV executives, ARCO Design/Build, DSV customers and City of Hillsboro partners. - ARCO Design/Build is expected to complete the project around July 2027. The details: - The new hub will unite DSV’s existing Oregon locations in Sherwood and Tualatin. - Those three current sites total about 385,000 square feet combined. - The new building will be nearly twice that size. - All employees from the existing Oregon locations will move to the new facility. - The warehouse will include advanced security, customized inventory management, warehousing, fulfillment and distribution services. - Planned features include a 40-foot clear height, 53 dock doors and dedicated storage zones for specialty semiconductor materials. - Security measures will include 24-hour video surveillance and perimeter fencing. - DSV’s AI-driven inventory management system will provide real-time visibility from receipt to delivery. - The company is marking its 50th anniversary in 2026 alongside the Oregon expansion. - DSV says the new hub will give the Oregon team more space, resources and capability to grow with customers. - Hillsboro officials said the investment supports the local semiconductor industry and the community’s plans for the Hillsboro Technology Park. Between the lines: - The move signals a shift from a dispersed local footprint to a single, more integrated operating model. - For semiconductor logistics, one large facility can reduce handling friction and improve response times for sensitive materials. - The project also shows DSV deepening its U.S. contract logistics presence at a moment when chip supply-chain infrastructure remains a strategic priority. What’s next: - Construction will continue through the next year until the facility opens around July 2027. - Once finished, the Hillsboro site will serve as DSV’s Oregon Regional Warehouse Hub. - The transition will move Oregon employees from the current Sherwood and Tualatin sites into the new building. - DSV will continue building out services for semiconductor customers as the facility comes online. The bottom line: - DSV is betting on a larger, more centralized Oregon hub to support semiconductor growth and streamline regional logistics.
