Their completion is expected 30 days apart in the first quarter of 2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Building 1 will have a 32-foot clear height, 27 dock-high doors expandable up to 64, two drive-in doors, 210 car parking spaces and 80 tractor trailer parking spaces. Building II is to feature a 36-foot clear height, 48 dock-high doors expandable up to 117, four drive-in doors, 310 car parking spaces and 140 tractor trailer parking spaces.

In addition, Jody Zimmerman and John Agan with Walter Wagner Jr. Co. will lead leasing for the commercial properties along Highway 1848\/Buck Creek Road.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Other members of the Simpsonville 64 development team include H2B Architects, Mindell Scott engineers and Evans General Contractors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-strategic-location\">Strategic location<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Located between interstates 65 and 75, Simpsonville 64 will have direct access to I-65 at Exit 28 in Shelby County. The site is near UPS Worldport, FedEx Ground and Amazon Air Hub facilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The park is also close to the Ford Kentucky truck plant, Ford Louisville assembly plant and GE Appliance Park in Louisville and Toyota\u2019s Georgetown, Ky., assembly plant. The automakers are planning more than $2 billion in investments in electric vehicle production in the region. Toyota may also relocate a significant portion of its RAV-4 production to Georgetown.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Late last year, Toyota announced it was <a href=\"https:\/\/www.commercialsearch.com\/news\/toyota-launches-922m-plant-at-kentucky-manufacturing-campus\/\">building a $922 million advanced paint facility<\/a> at the Georgetown campus. Slated to open in 2027, the facility will add 1 million square feet of capacity while decreasing carbon emissions by 30 percent and water usage by 1.5 million gallons per year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-more-hunt-midwest-projects\">More Hunt Midwest projects<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>This is Hunt Midwest\u2019s second Kentucky project. The firm developed Blankenbaker Logistics Center, a 322,831-square-foot industrial facility on Plantside Drive in East Louisville. Piston Automotive leased the entire building before its delivery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another Hunt Midwest master-planned development is KCI 29 Logistics Park, a 3,300-acre industrial campus in Kansas City, which broke ground in 2022. The park has the potential for up to 20 million square feet of industrial space. It is located near the Kansas City International Airport and KCI Air Cargo Hub, as well as interstates 29 and 435.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This campus will have 3.3 million square feet of commercial and industrial space upon build-out.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1068,"featured_media":1004759592,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[21782,21748,13,21742],"tags":[32789,52223,52627],"class_list":["post-1004759571","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-development","category-industrial","category-midwest","category-latest","tag-cbre","tag-evans-general-contractors","tag-hunt-midwest"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v23.4 (Yoast SEO v24.6) -
