The 111-acre Forward Innovation Center East property was once home to a 2.1 million SF stamping plant for Ford Motor Company. The plan for the site is to develop it as a modern industrial business park, catering to tenants in light manufacturing, logistics, distribution, and research and development.

The first new building in the new development, this single-story multi-tenant industrial building was designed with a 32’ interior clear height and has tilt-up concrete panel exterior walls with an interior steel frame and a flat roof. The facility features 26 dock doors with 50x50 bay spacing.

DiGeronimo Development was a developer on the project and in addition to IC’s Design-Build services, our Special Projects Group was responsible for the general trades package, while Independence Excavating performed the demolition, earthwork, and utilities.
