Mercantile Distribution Centers
11 - 13 Represent 24th Successful Collaboration Between Mercantile Partners and
Bob Moore Construction
ARLINGTON,
TEXAS - May 1, 2006 - Mercantile Center, owned and operated by Mercantile
Partners, L.P. is a strategically located business park in north Fort Worth. Spanning
more than 1300 acres, Mercantile Center offers prime industrial and office locations
within five minutes of the city's downtown area, in one of the fastest-growing
areas of the D/FW Metroplex.
Mercantile Center recently expanded its building offerings with three new distribution centers, Mercantile Distribution Centers 11, 12 and 13 (MDC 11-13). Bob Moore Construction was general contractor and Hardy McCullah/MLM Architects was the architect for the MDC 11 - 13 project.
"Bob Moore has once again met our expectations with the completion Phase 1 of our newest office/warehouse planned development," said Hal Hardister, Director of Development for Mercantile Partners. "After achieving 100% occupancy in our existing industrial buildings the push began to complete additional speculative space. Bob Moore was selected to build our newest buildings because of its ability to assist with the design effort by maintaining the budget and adhering to an aggressive schedule. MDC 11, 12 and 13 were constructed with the quality expected of Bob Moore and delivered as promised. Mercantile Partners are extremely pleased with the new product and look forward to our future successes.
The three buildings offer a combined 380,900 SF of warehouse space. MDC 11 is 137,500 SF with 22 dock doors for general receiving and shipping and MDC 12 and 13 are 121,700 SF with 26 dock doors each. Ceiling height for each building is 28 feet.
"Building
three buildings as part of one project in a fairly tight space required strong
logistical planning," said Ed McGuire, Vice President of Construction for
Bob Moore Construction. "The fact that existing buildings surrounded the
jobsite meant that we had to manage our working space very efficiently as well.
Our site superintendent, Larry Langford, did an excellent job of controlling the
logistics and overlapping the trades to keep the jobsite productive and on schedule.
"These buildings turned out very well," McGuire added. "The buildings' design and construction allow them the flexibility to meet the needs of a wide range of businesses. We think Mercantile Partners and their tenants will be very happy with the buildings."
With the completion of MDC 11-13, Bob Moore Construction has delivered 24 buildings and finish-outs for Mercantile Partners, in a successful business relationship now entering its 15th year.
"Bob Moore Construction continues to be an integral partner in our business park," said Hardister. "Our relationship has grown over years due to their outstanding staff and attention to details. The onsite superintendents and project managers assigned to our projects are always cognizant of the schedule, budget and quality of our facilities. Mercantile Partners rarely has any ongoing maintenance issues because of Bob Moore's attention to the overall functionality of each detail of the building. This attitude is what separates Bob Moore from other contractors and has made them a partner is our development and not just a service provider."
"Since
1991 we've built more than 2.4 million SF of industrial and commercial facilities
in Mercantile Center," said Phillip Bell, President of Bob Moore Construction.
"We take a great deal of pride in how that business park has grown. Mercantile
Center is now home to many of our area's top businesses and has provided a huge
economic benefit to the Metroplex. And over the 15 years this growth has taken
place, Mercantile Partners has consistently been a superb client and business
partner for us. It's always a pleasure to work with professionals like Hal Hardister
and Barbara Fife, and we look forward to many more years of continued success
working with them."
