BROWNING/DUKE REALTY TO DEVELOP 1.2M SF WALMART DISTRIBUTION CENTER

PLAINFIELD, IND. — Walmart has selected Browning/Duke Realty, a joint venture partnership between two Indianapolis commercial real estate companies, to develop its new e-commerce warehouse and distribution center. The 1.2 million-square-foot, state-of-the-art industrial building is being built to Walmart’s specifications on a 64-acre site in AllPoints Midwest, a bulk industrial campus in Plainfield under development by the two companies. Scheduled for delivery later this year, the building, which will be known as AllPoints Midwest 3, will incorporate modern bulk warehouse features. The facility will include 40-foot clear heights; 8,000-amp electrical service; 55-by-53-foot bay spacing with 55-by-60-foot spacing at the staging bays; and LED high-bay warehouse light fixtures. The 650-by-1,760-foot building, which is expandable by more than 200,000 square feet, also will include 16,500 square feet of office space, 100 9-by-10-foot dock doors and one 12-by-14-foot drive-in door. The Walmart facility will be the third fast-tracked, build-to-suit warehouse that Browning/Duke Realty has recently delivered at AllPoint Midwest. AllPoints Midwest is located off I-70 at Ronald Reagan Parkway and has access to the Indianapolis International Airport and the CSX Railroad’s Avon intermodal yard. Brian Seitz and Kris Bjorson of Jones Lang LaSalle represented Walmart in the transaction. Mark Susemichel and John Cohoat of Browning, and Mark Hosfeld and Kate Ems of Duke Realty, represented ownership.
