June 6, 2024 – BEHKO Group, the region’s leading industrial and commercial design-build firm, announced that it has broken ground on a 30-acre site and will serve as the General Contractor for Capital Development Partners’ (CDP) new Central Port Logistics Center Class A warehouse development project in Savannah, GA. BEHKO is moving forward with the construction phase of (2) 150,000 square foot tilt up warehouses, which are to be erected simultaneously to accommodate an expedited schedule.
“Our collaboration with Capital Development Partners has provided BEHKO the opportunity to share our turnkey services with an audience beyond the Lowcountry and partner with a national developer strategically positioned to make a positive impact on Georgia’s economy,” said Jordan Behringer, BEHKO’s managing partner. “Our experience in fast-track design-build project delivery will bring benefit to their team to ensure a successful outcome as they further develop the Central Port Logistics Center Industrial Park at Rockingham.”
Capital Development, a national industrial real estate and infrastructure developer with a core focus on US port markets, has contracted BEHKO to manage the design-build process. The project will include 300,000 square feet of flex, spec industrial warehouse space spanning a 30-acre parcel that was acquired by CDP in Summer of 2023. The Class A facilities can be subdivided as low as 30,000 square feet and will be available for occupancy in March 2025.
The Central Port Logistics Center is strategically located within Savannah’s high-speed corridor adjacent to Veteran’s Parkway, with approximately one mile of highway frontage and immediate access to Garden City Terminal (10 minutes) and Ocean Terminal (7 minutes). In addition to the two buildings, the expansive lot will also host an additional +-9 acres available to tenants for outdoor storage capability.
Coleman Company, Inc is the civil engineer for the project, with BRR Architecture Inc. serving as architect.
BEHKO has played an integral role in South Carolina’s burgeoning industrial growth, leading design-build projects for local and regional clients as well as global manufacturers, including Boeing, Nucor, Mercedes and Symrise. A full-service partner, the BEHKO team includes veteran architects, seasoned engineers, and capable project managers as it takes client projects from concept to completion.
