Poettker Construction recently broke ground on Riverport Trade Center in Maryland Heights, Missouri. NorthPoint Development contracted Poettker Construction for the project, which includes three distribution warehouse buildings totaling more than 725,000 square-feet.
The Class-A warehouse complex will consist of three rear-loaded buildings that are 249,500 square feet, 160,000 square feet and 312,000 square feet. All three facilities will feature 40-foot-tall concrete tilt-up walls with a capacity of nearly 100 loading docks and will be tailored to fit the needs of today’s industrial users.
Preparation of the nearly 50-acre development will entail demolition, site clearing, stabilization and drying of existing soil, construction of special foundations on aggregate piers, sanitary lift stations and bio-retention systems.
Tilt-up concrete and steel will make up the frame for all three warehouses. The complex will consist of more than 300 tilt-up panels.
