Portfolio of Industrial Construction Projects
A manufacturing plant is not a “big box,” nor is it an office building with fewer windows. Buildings should be carefully designed and configured to meet your very specific needs. That can mean, for example, reinforced weight-bearing specifications for flooring, high ceilings, unique acoustical or humidity-control demands, and a hundred other possible considerations. And many of them have special implications for safety, personnel, equipment, and timing.

Midlink Business Park

The work performed at Kalamazoo’s Midlink Business Park can be called nothing short of a “reinvention.” This stunning metamorphosis has turned it into a showcase facility, offering the largest and most flexible contiguous space available for warehousing and distribution, manufacturing, and other uses in the entire Midwest. It offers nearly 2 million square feet of available space, on a campus of over 340 acres.

This allowed the owner to enhance the building with full concrete dock aprons and upgraded electrical generator service.
