CHICAGO-Locally based Venture One Real Estate LLC has completed the development of a 100,000-square-foot distribution facility for Danfoss. The company’s new logistics facility is adjacent to its 250,000-square-foot office and production building—home to Danfoss’ VLT Drives division.
Construction began late June on a 7.51 acre site within Venture One’s Loves Park Corporate Center, here in Loves Park, IL. Fueled by the strong growth of Danfoss’s high-powered, energy-efficient drives, the company relocated its receiving, shipping and warehousing operations into the new facility in order to create additional manufacturing capacity at their current location, according to a prepared statement.
The fully air conditioned building features 28-foot clear height, an ESFR sprinkler system, 50-car parking, 12 exterior docks and two drive-in doors. The project team included Meridian Design Build as the general contractor, Heitman Architects as the architect and Jacob & Hefner, which provided civil engineering.
Danfoss began operations in the Rockford area in 1982 and moved to their current location in Loves Park in 2001 with 125,000 square feet. In 2008, Danfoss doubled their manufacturing in Loves Park after considering proposals in China and Mexico. The new facility brings their total space in Loves Park to 350,000 square feet.
Loves Park Corporate Center is a 60-acre development that is home to the Pepsi distribution building and now Danfoss. There are 41.50 acres of remaining land which fronts I-90/I-39 approximately
