September 7, 2022 (Torrance, CA) – PREMIER Design + Build Group has wrapped up its work on Gateway Logistics Center, a 251,000-square-foot industrial warehouse in southern California. In 2021, PREMIER was tapped by the Ares Industrial Management team as general contractor for this assignment.
Gateway Logistics Center is a concrete tilt-up structure with a steel truss hybrid roof. It is equipped with an ESFR sprinkler system, LED warehouse lighting, and 2000A UGPS with a 2,000A service. It is located on an 11-acre site at 19681 Pacific Gateway Drive in Torrance, CA. This new industrial warehouse has a 36’ clear height, 42 truck doors, two drive-in doors, 67 trailer parking stalls, 155 parking stalls for automobiles, and 16 electrical vehicle charging stations. The site was also
equipped with a complete rainwater harvesting system to provide water for irrigation. The building was leased midway through the project to a national third-party logistics company, and PREMIER worked with them to expand the speculative tenant improvements from about 11,000 square feet to almost 19,000 square feet of class A office space.
Prior to beginning construction on the site, PREMIER’s team demolished two buildings that previously had been used for commercial printing. The project scope included creating three new access driveways. Other exterior improvements including the addition of storm drains and water quality systems.
PREMIER’s Jeramy Mahfet served as senior project manager on Gateway Logistics Center. Mahfet worked with project superintendent Kenny Holt and Steven Gabbert, principal and Southwest market leader.
“This is an exceptional new asset designed to meet the evolving needs of the market,” said Gabbert. “We’ve enjoyed working with the Ares Industrial Management team to bring this project to completion.”
