Bringing a major development to the region, Opus recently completed development of the Dayton Parkway Business Center, including the tenant improvements for TurbinePROs, a North American field services provider for rotating equipment at power generation and process plants.
TurbinePROs is the project’s first tenant.
Dayton Parkway Business Center is a 131,578-square-foot Class-A speculative distribution and light manufacturing facility located at 17800 Territorial Road in Dayton. The development sits on a 10-acre site easily accessible from the new Dayton Parkway Interchange and Interstate-94.
“We’re excited to announce the early delivery of Dayton Parkway Business Center and to offer the northwest submarket a unique new leasing opportunity with access to and visibility from Interstate 94,” said Joe Mahoney, senior director of real estate development with Opus, in a statement.
“Already the development has received a favorable response, as evidenced by TurbinePROs’ early commitment to the project and additional user interest in the remaining space. Coupled with robust northwest submarket leasing activity, we’re confident the project will continue to be well received by users.”
TurbinePROs is leasing 87,597 square feet of the facility, which includes 12,000 square feet of office. The space replaces the company’s 30,000-square-foot Rogers, Minnesota, site, which could no longer support the 16-year-old company’s rapid growth over the last five years.
Among the facility’s most notable features is a pair of drive-thru dock doors to accommodate forward-facing indoor loading and unloading of two semi-trucks simultaneously.
“Our new headquarters in Dayton Parkway Business Center delivers an exceptional office and shop with easy access to Highway 94 and maneuverability for trucks carrying our customized tool connexes and boxes. It also provides the ability to conduct all operations indoors and ample room for future growth,” said John Loubier, president and CEO of TurbinePROs, in a statement. “Opus was tremendous to work with. They were collaborative, accommodating and flexible. And they delivered our space under budget and ahead of schedule.”
According to Loubier, TurbinePROs is currently transitioning into its new location and will be fully operational by the end of April.
Dayton Parkway Business Center’s remaining 43,091 square feet offers prospective tenants six dock doors, expandable to 10; two drive-in doors; a clear height of 32 feet; 115 vehicle parking stalls; and 14 trailer parking stalls. Additional amenities include natural lighting and motion-activated occupancy sensors. A new right-hand turn lane on Dayton Parkway provides trucks easy and direct access onto the property.
Opus was the developer, design-builder and architect of record on the project. Dan Swartz and Austin Lovin of CBRE are marketing the remaining space for lease.
