Project Details

Scannell properties, a national company specializing in build-to-suit and speculative development projects, contracted with Evans for the fast-track construction of a new distribution facility on behalf of their client Best Buy.

As one of the nation’s most reputable technology retailers, and a leading provider of technology products, services, and solutions, Best Buy chose to locate their 650,000 sf build-to-suit facility in Polk City, FL as their Central Florida distribution hub. This facility was key in the retailer’s efforts to better serve e-commerce to Florida’s growing market, specifically along the I-4 corridor, and parts of South Georgia as well.

The build-to-suit consists of a 32’ high distribution facility with conventional steel framing, load bearing site cast concrete tilt-wall panels, and a single ply TPO roof system. The facility is located on a fully developed 46-acre site to accommodate cross dock loading with 126 truck positions, including 15,000 sf of interior office and administrative space. Scope of work includes design-build services, complete shell building construction, tenant build out, and a comprehensive site work package.

Evans was able to achieve a complete build out in just 7 months after breaking ground.
