Cold Creek Solutions Denton comprises 306,240 square feet of cold storage, a 59,320-square-foot refrigerated dock and 9,000 square feet of office space. The property has 45-foot clear heights for the warehouse and 28-foot clear heights for the cold dock, which allows for 60,000 pallet positions, multi-tenant space use and flexible temperature functionality. The storage features 53 dock positions including vertical storing levelers, 85 trailer parking spaces and 147 car parking spaces. The building was 50 percent leased at the time of sale to Southwest Warehouse Services.

The 23.6-acre property is at 6651 N. Interstate 35 in the northern part of The Metroplex, having access to Loop 288 and U.S. routes 77 and 380.
