Scannell Properties identified an opportunity for a speculative distribution facility in Millstone Township, NJ, leveraging its strategic Interstate 95 corridor location to support growing e-commerce demand with flexible last-mile distribution space.
Challenge
The facility needed to accommodate a wide range of tenant requirements while maintaining the speed, efficiency, and flexibility expected of a modern last-mile distribution center. The design also needed to support future adaptability without compromising operational performance.
Solution
Designed for flexibility, the 132,930-square-foot facility features 32-foot clear heights, 29 dock doors, two drive-in doors, and knockout panels that allow additional windows and doors to be added as needed. Centrally located fire pump and electrical rooms improve building distribution and adaptability, while ample parking, trailer storage, and a dedicated office suite support day-to-day operations.
Outcome
Sustainability measures include the use of recycled materials in the concrete tilt-wall structure and steel joist roof, along with clerestory lighting that introduces natural light into interior loading areas. Located within an hour of more than eight million residents, the facility provides a speed-to-market solution that supports efficient, safe, and reliable last-mile delivery throughout the region.
