A commercial real estate plot in Falls Township, which once held the promise of wind technology as a green energy source, has sold. Natalie Kostelni, for the Philadelphia Business Journal, covered the history of the property and the arc of its tenant, Gamesea Corp.

Last week’s $19.2 million purchase of the plot turned 93 acres of land owned by Siemans Gamesea Renewable Energy — the entity into which Gamesea eventually morphed — over to NorthPoint.

NorthPoint has been active in that pocket of Bucks County, converting the 1,800-acre campus of the closed U.S. Steel Fairless Works plant into a massive warehouse farm.

Gamesea was hailed as a win-win for the area when Gov. Ed Rendell courted the wind-turbine generator blade manufacturer to Bucks County in 2004. It was to not only create jobs but also position Pa. as a leader in green energy production.

After an auspicious beginning that employed as many as 500 residents, the business was blindsided by the 2009 Great Recession.

By 2014, not even its purchase by German industrial manufacturing giant Siemans could save it.

A four-parcel purchase option, which had long gone cold, was eventually transferred to NorthPoint. It will add the land to its existing holdings in Falls Township.
