PREMIER Design + Build Group, LLC has completed a 365,359 square foot industrial facility for FREEMAN, a face-to-face marketing company in McCook, Illinois. The new warehouse provides an advantageous location to FREEMAN’s existing audio-visual site also in McCook.
Bridge Development Partners, LLC selected PREMIER to construct the core and shell and interior build-out located on a brownfield infill site in Cook County. The new large-scale warehouse, designed for LEED certification, is constructed with steel and insulated precast wall panels, features 50 exterior dock positions and a 30′ clear height.
Included in the many design and construction features are a graphics production area, 39 private offices, 14 conference rooms, 47 collaborative work areas, a training room, a mechanic’s service area and racked storage space. The fire suppression system consists of an ESFR (Early Suppression Fast Response) fire sprinkler and stormwater is managed with an onsite dry-bottom retention pond. An asphalt parking lot was installed with 261 car stalls and 265 trailer stalls.
Joe Ahrens of PREMIER Design + Build Group, LLC was the project manager overseeing the development and Scott Lebak was field superintendent. Cornerstone Architects Ltd. delivered architectural services and Manhard Consulting was Civil Engineer.
