Charleston, S.C. – BEHKO Group has been selected by Neal Brothers to design and build their warehouse expansion at their existing Domino Ave. facility in North Charleston, SC.
Totaling approximately 100,000 square-feet, this expansion will serve Neal Brothers’ increasing need for storage and distribution space. The new building will be located inside Stark Industrial Park in North Charleston, with convenient access to Charleston International Airport and the South Carolina Ports Authority Terminals via near access to both I-526 and I-26.
Constructed of concrete tilt-up walls and structural steel framing, the facility will be equipped with ESFR (Early Suppression Fast Response) sprinklers, energy-efficient LED lighting, and 60mil TPO (Thermoplastic Polyolefin) membrane roofs.
David K. Neal, President of Neal Brothers, states “We are grateful for having the opportunity to invest in our business during these uncertain times. This capital investment will allow us to expand our storage and distribution space and further improve our long-term strength in the global logistics market. We’re excited to partner with BEHKO Group on this project”
Razvan Cojocaru, Vice President at BEHKO Group, commented, “we are privileged to have been selected by Neal Brothers to be their partner on this expansion project. While we are looking forward to taking on this design-build opportunity, we are equally excited about continuing our long-standing partnership with Neal Brothers.”
