Chicago’s first multi-level industrial warehouse occupies an 11-acre site just north of the city. This massive project features 32-foot clear heights, mezzanine levels on each floor and over 50K-sf of Class A office space! DCI worked closely with stakeholders to develop structural solutions that truly supported operational needs. This included 28 dock doors and two drive-in doors serviced by a truck court, which is designed for 53-foot-long truck trailers and HS20 truck loading. This court is accessed by two independent, two-way, double-wide truck ramps, totaling approximately 1,500 linear feet.

Project Highlights

  • Each floor offers 32-foot clear heights.
  • Both floors include mezzanine levels.
  • Includes a total of 50,000-sf of Class A office space.
  • Warehouse is 15 miles from Chicago O’Hare International Airport.
  • A pedestrian bridge connects to an adjacent five-story parking garage.
  • Pursuing LEED Silver.
