The $100 million facility is part of a broader network of hubs that the firm is developing through various partnerships, which will facilitate the more efficient movement of food.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.commercialsearch.com\/news\/americold-jv-eyes-kansas-city-cold-storage-facility\/\">Americold announced the project<\/a> in February 2024 and broke ground the same year in April. The city of Kansas City provided $127.5 million in bonds for the development, according to Yardi Research Data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The facility came online on some 39 acres at 14981 Thunderbird Road. Key features of the property include on-site USDA inspections to eliminate border delays, load capacity exceeding 50,000 pounds per container to reduce highway congestion and a 300-mile service radius supporting regional food flow. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity has-very-light-gray-to-cyan-bluish-gray-gradient-background has-background is-style-wide\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>READ ALSO:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.commercialsearch.com\/news\/freeze-read-this-first-before-developing-cold-storage\/\">Freeze! Read This First Before Developing Cold Storage<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity has-very-light-gray-to-cyan-bluish-gray-gradient-background has-background is-style-wide\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p>Developed in partnership with the Canadian Pacific Kansas City railroad, the warehouse is Americold\u2019s first property on the CPKC rail network. The Kansas City Import-Export Hub will serve the Mexico Midwest Express, which is North America\u2019s only single-line rail service for refrigerated goods between the U.S. and Mexico, according to Americold. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Based in Atlanta, Americold owns and operates more than 230 temperature-controlled warehouses worldwide that represent about 1.4 billion refrigerated cubic feet of storage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-cold-storage-development-slow\">Cold storage development slow<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The demand for cold storage facilities remains strong, spurred most recently by the upsurge in demand for prepared foods that began with the pandemic. Moreover, much of the existing cold storage stock is approaching the end of its useful life, with U.S. facilities averaging nearly 40 years of age, according to Colliers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In 2022 and 2023, developers delivered 5.2 million square feet of spec cold storage space, facilitated by low interest rates and strong rents, Colliers noted. By mid-2023, however, development had slowed in the high interest-rate environment, just as with\u00a0the rest of the industrial real estate market. In 2024, only 1.1 million square feet of cold storage space came online.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>More recently, there has been an uptick in cold storage development, as the market has adjusted to the current interest rate climate. Colliers estimates that 2.2 million square feet will be completed this year. Even so, the market faces headwinds, such as uncertainty regarding tariffs, labor, taxes and infrastructure spending.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This hub will serve North America\u2019s only single-line rail service for refrigerated goods between the U.S. and Mexico.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1023,"featured_media":1004703532,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[21782,21748,1592,13,21742],"tags":[40206,35498],"class_list":["post-1004768335","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-development","category-industrial","category-kansas-city","category-midwest","category-latest","tag-americold","tag-colliers"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v23.4 (Yoast SEO v24.6) -
