Description
- 4,000m2 centre for local and African distribution
- Location for distribution management and sales and product collection area for GNLD agents
- The L-shaped site in Longmeadow was difficult to develop, and had stood empty for years.
- The 11m-high narrow-isle warehouse required an ultra-flat floor.
- Part of warehouse was located over the parking basement.
- The office building was built facing the Longmeadow traffic circle, for maximum visibility.
- The building can function for days without municipal water and electricity.
