The Challenge

Four independent tenant suites under one roof. Shared dock infrastructure. Independent suite metering.

Multi-tenant cold storage is operationally distinct from single-tenant construction. Each tenant suite needs independent operational control, independent metering for utility cost allocation, segregated material flow to support tenant confidentiality, and access control matched to multi-tenant operations.

This project required all of that with four tenant suites at four different temperature programs, shared refrigeration infrastructure with per-tenant metering, segregated material flow workflow, and dock infrastructure supporting concurrent tenant operations.

Inside the Build

Four tenant suites. Shared infrastructure. Independent operational control.

Tenant Suite A — 30,000 SF · 35°F refrigerated

Refrigerated tenant suite with independent access, dock allocation, and operational control.

Tenant Suite B — 30,000 SF · 0°F frozen

Standard frozen tenant suite with 5-inch IMP envelope and under-slab heating.

Tenant Suite C — 25,000 SF · multi-temp

Multi-temperature tenant suite with internal zone subdivision supporting tenant operational flexibility.

Tenant Suite D — 25,000 SF · -20°F sub-zero

Sub-zero tenant suite with 6-inch IMP envelope, cascade-ready refrigeration, and multi-stage vestibule access.

Shared Refrigeration Plant

Shared NH₃ + glycol secondary refrigeration plant with per-tenant suite metering. PSM-compliant mechanical room sized for current operations plus 25% future expansion.

Scope Delivered

Multi-tenant cold storage with shared infrastructure and independent control.

01

Multi-Tenant Thermal Envelope

IMP installation across four tenant suites with thickness matched to operating temperature. Continuous vapor barrier throughout. Tenant-suite-segregated envelope with sound and thermal isolation between suites.

02

Shared Refrigeration with Per-Tenant Metering

Industrial NH₃ refrigeration with glycol secondary loop. Per-tenant suite metering supporting utility cost allocation. Independent tenant suite temperature control.

03

Multi-Tenant Dock Infrastructure

42 dock-high doors allocated across tenant suites. Tenant-segregated dock workflow. Coordinated yard circulation supporting concurrent tenant operations.

04

Tenant Operational Infrastructure

Independent tenant access control, segregated material flow, tenant office and personnel infrastructure, and tenant-specific signage and branding accommodation.

Result

All four tenant suites operational. Independent metering verified. Zero cross-suite issues.

All four tenant suites activated and operational at commissioning. Per-tenant utility metering verified at commissioning. Zero cross-suite operational interference detected through commissioning and early operations.

The shared refrigeration plant has supported concurrent tenant operations across four temperature programs. Per-tenant metering supports clean utility cost allocation. Tenant-segregated workflow has supported confidential operational requirements.
