With our substantial local knowledge of the industrial product and history in the South Florida market, Hernandez was ideally situated to help deliver Bridge’s vision for AVE; providing both development and construction management services along with TI’s for this three-building, 589,887 SF industrial business park at Miami-Opa Locka Executive Airport. The project features best-in-class specifications and transforms the South Florida industrial landscape.
The process included a goal to fast-track the project development in order to meet local market demand. Hernandez efficiently delivered all three buildings and was awarded several of the TI’s, including a new state-of-the-art prototype store buildout for Amazon, the world’s largest e-commerce retailer, and the first fulfillment center in South Florida for Kroger Co., the largest supermarket chain the U.S.
Building MIA2 is a 279,499 SF build-to-suit facility for Amazon building featuring various sizes and depths while providing all of the Class A specs such as; 24’ to 36’ clear heights, ESFR Suppression systems, rear load & cross dock opportunities. The Hernandez Construction team went from pouring final exterior footing to a completely decked structure the size of 6 football fields in less than 30 days, tilting 106+ panels!
Hernandez Construction has successfully helped Kroger Co., the largest supermarket chain in the U.S., fast-track their launch in the South Florida market with their first fulfillment center in South Florida, a 64,000 square-foot tenant improvement in Building L. delivering 61,500 square feet of Class A warehouse space and 2,500 square feet of office in just 90 days.
“We fast tracked the development of Bridge Point AVE to meet local market demand for well located, Class-A warehouse and distribution space,” said Kevin Carroll, Partner, Southeast Region for BRIDGE. “We are on schedule for a third-quarter delivery, having nearly completed Building 1 and tilted the walls on Buildings 2 and 3. Fueled by the unprecedented growth in the e-commerce sector, the overall market response to Bridge Point AVE has been extremely positive with pre-leasing activity exceeding our expectations.”
