The proposed location for this $1 billion project is at 1601 Martin Luther King Jr. Drive, in close proximity to a planned 212-acre industrial campus.
Construction is set to commence on July 1 of next year and will be completed in three phases, with each phase covering an area of 45,000 square feet. Upon completion of all three phases, the total buildout will span over an impressive 135,000 square feet. It is estimated that this ambitious project will require a capital expenditure of $1 billion over the course of ten years.
