Project Details

This project included the design and construction of a 525,000 SF distribution center located on a 60-acre site. The project also included outdoor recreation amenities such as a one-mile circuit mountain bike trail, a series of walking trails, and wildflower meadows.

This new distribution center received “Silver” LEED Certification from the U.S. Green Building Council. The site/civil and landscape architecture design comprises nearly half of the certification credits.

We have worked with Keller Engineers for structural and civil engineering support on six projects over the past five years and have been very pleased with the results. Our projects tend to be complicated phased renovation/ addition projects calling for creativity in planning and construction. I have been particularity pleased with their responsiveness to issues that arise during construction which is of particular importance to us and our clients. Vern L.
