Dallas-based Hunt Southwest Real Estate Development has completed sitework and is now in building design on a 300,000-square-foot, speculative, cold storage facility in Fort Worth. The speculative facility can accommodate a variety of cold storage uses, including freezer, cooler, foodservice/grocery tri-temp distribution, and food processing. Hunt Southwest expects to receive a building permit in approximately two months. Once building construction commences, the building should be ready in in approximately nine months.
Located in the Carter Industrial Park in far south Fort Worth, the state-of-the-art facility provides prime access to the interchange of two of the country’s most critical north-south and east-west transportation arteries (Interstate 35W and Interstate 20, respectively.
“This is a rare opportunity for a food distributor, public refrigerated warehouse, or manufacturer to capitalize on a highly strategic location, with best-in-class, new-construction amenities,” said Hunt Southwest Vice President T. Preston Herold. “The future tenant will be in great company in a vibrant industrial park that already has an extensive food industry presence with world-class corporations such as Tyson Foods, Mrs. Baird’s Bread, the Schwan Food Company, Mother Parker’s Tea & Coffee, Ben E. Keith Foods & Beers, Lineage Logistics, Core-Mark, Save-A-Lot and MillerCoors Brewing.”
Some of the facility’s key features include a 45-foot clear height, 9-inch-thick, shrinkage-compensating floor slab, continuous dock pit with vertical storing levelers, LED lighting throughout, ample automobile and trailer parking, as well as the ability to be served by rail. The space can accommodate a single tenant 300,000-square-foot unit; a two-tenant arrangement with two 150,000-square-foot units; or a two-tenant arrangement with one 200,000-square foot unit and one 100,000-square-foot unit.
Kevin Kelly of CBRE’s Food Facilities Group will market the facility, which is located at 8200 Will Rogers Blvd. in Fort Worth.
