L Cold, a division of RealtyLink, LLC, broke ground on The Lakeville build—a 292,000-square-foot cold storage facility in Lakeville, Minnesota, in the Minneapolis market to meet the demands of the area’s underserved cold storage market.
Graycor Construction Company serves as the general contractor on the design-build project, with Ware Malcomb as the design partner.
On May 7, RL Cold joined with Graycor, City of Lakeville, Lakeville Chamber, stakeholders and partners to kick off the construction of the state-of-the-art cold storage facility. The Lakeville build site is 28 acres and located in the 205-acre Airlake Industrial Park, just 4 miles to Interstate 35 and 20 miles to Minneapolis.
The Lakeville build will feature advanced refrigeration technology including a transcritical Co2 system to provide precision in temperature control, optimal storage conditions for perishable items and energy efficiency. The facility will offer 50-foot clear height, 70-foot-deep truck dock, up to 34,000 pallet positions, 98 employee parking spots, 61 truck spots and 38 truck dock doors. The project will be U.S. Green Building LEED Certified with potential to be higher based on customer needs.
The Lakeville build is slated to be completed in Spring 2025.
