The Allen Group, a commercial development firm specializing in logistics parks and industrial developments, recently announced construction plans for two additional industrial buildings at its MidState 99 Distribution Center in Visalia, Calif.,
The 139,590 square feet MidState Hayes Building 5 and 140,700 square feet MidState Hayes Building 6 will both be developed as warehouse/distribution facilities. The project is currently under construction, with both buildings available for occupancy in April 2008.
The MidState 99 Distribution Center has eight existing buildings totaling over two million square feet of space, all of which are 100 percent occupied. Current tenants include VF Corporation, International Paper Company, JoAnn Stores, Coast Distribution Systems, Workflow One, Worms Way, Bound Tree Medical, ORS NASCO and DATS Trucking. Approximately 200 acres are left for future build-to-suit opportunities up to one million square feet.
The development team includes: Taylor-Teter Partnership, as architects and structural engineers; Lane Engineers Inc., as civil engineers and B.J. Perch Construction, as general contractors.
The logistics park offers tenants overnight distribution to 98 percent of California at ground rates through the local UPS regional hub, providing a distinct distribution advantage not available in the Northern or Southern California markets. MidState 99 is also adjacent to rail access and State Highway 99, the major trucking corridor in California.
“With a strong labor work force, lower land and lease rates, and an affordable cost of living, Visalia continues to become one of the hottest industrial markets in California’s Central Valley,” said David Hernandez, Director of Construction Services for The Allen Group’s California Operations. “No other distribution center in the West reaches so many markets and population centers overnight.”
