Project Detail

This 577,200 square-foot new construction project included extensive sitework and total construction from design-build through the tenant fit-out process.  From start to finish, the Penntex team worked closely with owner First Industrial Property Trust to deliver a seamless construction experience, meeting all required specifications and delivering on time and on budget.

Coordinated Sitework On the Outside

Sitework enhancements to the property located at 400 Cedar Lane in Florence, New Jersey ensured the grounds and infrastructure were optimized for the facility and included:

• Storm water design including construction of one wet basin
• Comprehensive site security including a guardhouse and security fencing
• Extensive site landscaping and an irrigation system
• Off-site road improvements including widening to accommodate a deceleration lane and storm water system modifications within the existing roads

Building Optimization & Tenant Fit-Out Inside

With structural steel framing and tilt-up concrete construction, the building features:

• 105 dock doors, equipped with mechanical levelers, dock bumpers and dock lights
• 60 Mil EPDM roofing with one roof hatch with safety railing
• Full-building ESFR sprinkler systems complete with diesel fire pump
• Comprehensive site lighting including a powered guardhouse and security access
