Big Box Warehouse Construction
On The Rise

In this current pandemic situation, we are seeing a surge in distribution markets. This is due to many tech solutions that are fueling the market. Almost 100 big-box warehouses, totaling 60 million square feet, were brought to the market in the past 12 months, according to a recent report from Colliers International. This is an indication that Warehouse/Distribution and KBD Group stands ready to help meet these demands. With the new supply and demand numbers, there is an expectation that exporting goods will surpass the demand in 2019, and will continue to rise over the next two years. Some of the newer most talked about facility types in the industry will include cold-storage facilities, in-fill/last-mile facilities, and multi-story warehouses.

Things to Know Before Starting

Interview With David Ledford

Question: What are three things a client needs to consider before building a distribution facility?

David Ledford, Warehouse/Distribution
South Business Unit Leader

Question: What are the three biggest challenges you see in warehouse distribution construction and how are you solving those issues?

There is always a concern with rising cost. We ease this concern with our clients by providing the best possible value in construction cost. This helps offset the land cost.
With the spike in construction, there is limited availability of properties in high value distribution areas. Our solution is to aid our clients in maximizing land use with building size and site development.
Encourage workforce regeneration in construction trades with youth by informing youthful prospects that trade careers are just as or are more valuable than engineering or management paths.

Question: Why do Clients choose KBD Group to build their facilities?

Client Testimonies

I would like to express my thanks to Kajima Building & Design Group, Inc. for a successful project. Throughout the project, the team worked effectively with numerous project representatives and vendors, and we are happy to report that the end result was a project that met our expectations in all areas. We look forward to working with KBD Group again on future projects.

I would like to express our sincere appreciation for your team's efforts to complete our New Campus project in Alsip, IL. Throughout the project, your team has provided us with a world class facility and worked hand in hand with our team in a very cooperative manner to meet challenging construction timelines, budgetary constraints, complex building requirements and our expectations. It has been a pleasure working with you and we hope to continue this great relationship in the future

Kajima’s sense of ownership went beyond a commitment to achieving a tight timeline, and spoke to their commitment to quality and owner satisfaction - while delivering on their promises. The building, utilities, and related infrastructure were completed on-schedule and delivered in a satisfactory condition to the owner.
