Hello,

We have a client looking for the following. Please send me fliers for any buildings you have that fit the following criteria by Thursday, May 10 at 5:00.

Building Requirements:

• Q2-Q4 occupancy – the client has mentioned they will likely need 4-6 months to set up the facility (tentatively May - August target)
• Being operational by the end of 2018 is their goal
• Single tenant facility is preferable (Other tenant’s uses may restrict ability to get their food grade certification)
• Size – Minimum of 125,000 SF (125,000 – 170,000 SF preferably, slightly large is a possibility). A larger building may work if it meets all other requirements
• Clear Height - 30’ CH min (their current clear height is 33’, but they will consider 30’). Dan will also look at high power, crane buildings as low as 22’ clear.
• Power – they will need 4,000 AMPS min
• 5-10 dock doors
• 1 oversized drive in door (16’ x 18’)
• Crane – potential for the facility to have a 10-20-ton crane
• Floors – 8”, super flat
• Silo pads – potential for 6 silos @ 100,000 lbs for their plastics resin

Important criteria to keep in mind:

• This is a specialty plastics manufacturer that requires existing cranes in the facility or the potential to house cranes
• The facility is likely going to need a dehumidification system installed
• They are going to be pursuing food grade certification

• Production will be running 24/7
