Schedule-Critical Delivery KDP Distribution Facility

389,100 SF industrial build-out delivered on schedule to support high-volume distribution operations and future scalability.

Built for Scale and Performance

This 389,100 SF tenant finish-out transformed a speculative warehouse into a high-throughput distribution facility delivered under a 7-month schedule. The project required disciplined execution, large-scale coordination, and rapid mobilization across multiple work fronts.

The result is a scalable infrastructure environment designed to support immediate operations and future expansion.

The Challenge

The project required delivery of a nearly 400,000 SF facility within a fixed 7-month schedule, leaving minimal margin for delays. Execution had to be carefully phased to maintain efficiency across multiple zones while coordinating a large volume of trades and installations.

In addition, infrastructure systems were designed not only to meet immediate operational demands but to support future automation and expansion. Maintaining cost control across an $8.5 million project was critical to protecting the developer’s pro forma while ensuring long-term asset value.

Execution Strategy

Execution focused on early procurement and structured phasing to maintain schedule certainty. Long-lead electrical components were identified during preconstruction and released early to eliminate potential delays.

A zone-based approach allowed warehouse and office build-out activities to progress concurrently, compressing the overall timeline while maintaining quality control. Transparent reporting and proactive coordination ensured alignment between ownership, tenant requirements, and construction progress throughout the project.

Project Delivery

The scope included full electrical distribution upgrades, high-bay LED lighting installation, and infrastructure to support future automation systems. Office and administrative areas were built out alongside warehouse improvements, including breakrooms, restrooms, and life safety systems.

Dock equipment installation, fire protection coordination, and mezzanine improvements were executed to support high-volume distribution operations. The completed facility delivers both immediate functionality and long-term scalability.

Execution Breakdown

Execution required coordinated delivery across large-scale infrastructure, electrical systems, phased construction zones, and stakeholder alignment to meet a fixed operational deadline.

Installation of high-capacity electrical distribution, equipment power drops, and infrastructure designed to support future automation.

High-bay LED lighting and facility systems installed to support operational efficiency, visibility, and long-term performance across the warehouse.

Zone-based sequencing allowed warehouse and office improvements to progress concurrently while maintaining schedule efficiency and quality control.

Continuous coordination with ownership, tenant representatives, leasing stakeholders, and third-party vendors kept construction progress aligned with turnover milestones.

Results & Impact

The project was delivered within the 7-month schedule and achieved timely Certificate of Occupancy, enabling immediate operational ramp-up.

Infrastructure was designed to support future expansion and automation, enhancing long-term flexibility and asset value. The completed facility now operates as a high-throughput distribution environment, supporting sustained performance and scalability.
