Premier breaks ground on new Forward Space buildings

WOOD DALE — Premier Design + Build Group recently broke ground on a two-building industrial project for client Bridge Development Partners.

The facility will include a new home for tenant Forward Space LLC, a provider of innovative workplace solutions. The two-building redevelopment, known as Bridge Point Wood Dale, is located in Wood Dale.

The first phase of the redevelopment of 700 N. Wood Dale Road began in May with the demolition of four preexisting masonry buildings on the 21.5-acre site. Premier is managing design + build services for both new warehouse buildings.

Each Bridge Point Wood Dale building will have a 60 foot concrete dock apron with heavy duty asphalt pavement for truck maneuvering. Forward Space's building will offer parking for 183 vehicles and is slated for completion in spring 2020. The second building, a 241,888-square foot speculative warehouse, also has a target delivery date of Spring of 2020.

Forward Space is a woman-owned, Steelcase authorized commercial furniture dealership that provides office furniture, workplace planning, procurement and delivery/installation across Chicagoland and Milwaukee.

Itasca-based Premier is teaming with Cornerstone Architects Ltd. for architectural design services. Swift Structural Design, LLC and Manhard Consulting will provide structural and civil engineering services for the project.
