We are thrilled to once again be named on Engineering News-Record’s Top 400 Contractors list! 2016 was a major growth year for ARCO, landing us 21 spots higher on the list at #72. We are incredibly grateful for our associates and customers, whose dedication to the ARCO way has made our overwhelming success possible.
ARCO-KC recently completed construction of a 635,800 square foot speculative warehouse in the Lenexa Logistics Centre for repeat client, Block Development. The project is ARCO’s second in the park, with a third building under construction for a total of nearly 1,400,000 square feet. When complete, the eCommerce-ready business park will offer roughly 1,700,000 square feet of bulk industrial/warehouse space with multi-tenant occupancy. The Centre is ideally suited for a distribution headquarters, a high-tech assembly facility, a data center, or a high-density logistics center.
Some of the features of the tilt-up concrete constructed facility include: 36’ clear height, 32 dock positions with dock seals, swing lights, and mechanical levelers; 50’x52’ interior bays and 65’x52’ staging bays; four motor operated drive-in doors; 3000 Amp electrical service; 25 fc level lighting achieved Thru T5 HO Fluorescent Light Fixtures with motion sensors; mechanically fastened 45 mil TPO roof system with r-20 insulation; and four featured entrances.
