Blue Rock completed both the ground-up construction and the comprehensive fit-out of a 358,000-square-foot distribution facility at First State Crossing in Claymont, Del., for First Industrial Realty Trust.
The facility features:
- 40-foot clear height
- 68 dock positions, two ramp doors, and 241 trailer parking stalls
- Strategic proximity to I-95, I-495, and Philadelphia International Airport
Following completion of the building, Blue Rock was selected to provide a full interior fit-out tailored to the operational needs of First Industrial Realty Trust’s tenant, ensuring the facility was fully prepared for occupancy and performance.
Originally scheduled as an eight-month effort, the fit-out was successfully completed on an accelerated five-month timeline.
Blue Rock worked closely with the tenant and ownership team to meet the revised schedule while maintaining the highest standards of quality and functionality.
The fit-out scope included:
- A new 12,000-square-foot office
- An 11,000-square-foot maintenance shop
- Renovations to an existing 5,000-square-foot office
- Infrastructure upgrades such as battery-charging stations, high-volume, low-speed fans, and modified dock equipment for larger levelers
- Site improvements, including perimeter fencing, a guard shack, and updated building signage
