Build to Suit

Client: Aristech Acrylics Project: 275,000 SF Distribution Center

Client: Klockner Desma Project: 23,000 SF Facility Challenge: Klockner Desma's lease expiration was fast approaching, and the building owner was not going to renew them. Klockner Desma wanted their own freestanding facility that provided the appropriate image for this German company's only U.S. operation. Solution: OBP located the ideal site for construction of a new sales/service operation and negotiated an aggressive lease rate as the first occupant in a newly developed, upscale business park.

Client: Levi Strauss & Co. Project: Connor Road Facility Challenge: Levi Strauss needed to relocate and expand their 300,000 sf distribution center. The project was to be completed in one year, as an additional year would be needed to test their state-of-the-art material handling system prior to occupancy. Solution: Levi Strauss & Co. hired OBP to conduct a three-state search of suitable sites for construction of an 800,000 sf distribution center. OBP presented approx. 50 sites, along with ownership, utility info, and state and local incentives. OBP negotiated acquisition of 64 acres and coordinated negotiations with economic development representatives, which concluded in $2.5 million in Kentucky Economic Development bonds for Levi's.
