The project was constructed on an 11.2 acre site, and involved a two-story building totaling 217,770 square feet including with site work, site utilities, shell and interiors. Building interiors included 124,000 square feet of warehouse space, a 36,000 square foot office and computer area, a kitchen and lunchroom. Site work included shipping and receiving loading dock areas, two parking lots with space for 268 vehicles and associated landscaping.
The building was constructed with an 8-inch slab with "strict tolerances," tilt-up construction with provisions for future expansion. In addition, the building included a 160,000 square foot built-up roof on metal deck and steel joists, 90 skylights, 26 loading docks with 41 bays, and 57,687 square foot mezzanine space.
