Premier breaks ground on spec warehouse project

BEDFORD PARK - Premier Design + Build Group recently joined client Bridge Development Partners to launch a new warehouse project in Bedford Park.

Premier is managing design and build services for the project, which will be completed in two phases. The first phase involves demolition of a large single-story building on West 65th Street in Bedford Park. During the second phase, Itasca-based Premier will oversee construction of a new 218,560-square foot building.

The new speculative warehouse will be constructed primarily of precast panels and glass. It will include 33 exterior truck docks and two drive-in doors. The 32-foot clear height building will be equipped with an Early Suppression Fast Response (ESFR) fire sprinkler. The 12-acre site will accommodate parking for 180 cars and 44 trailers.

Kyle Meier of Premier will serve as assistant project manager, working with Zach Gadomski as superintendent. Other key members of Premier's project team include project manager Samantha Skopek, project executive Joseph Ahrens, and senior vice president/Midwest market leader Michael Long.
