Cleveland, Ohio (January, 2024)

From Refrigerated & Frozen Foods 

ARCO National Construction recently partnered with developer Weston, Inc. to bring much-needed cold storage space to Cleveland. Despite Northeast Ohio being a hub for a multi-billion-dollar food processing industry, the scarcity of temperature-controlled facilities has led many companies to seek distribution space in alternative markets like Columbus or Harrisburg. 

The project, a 156,000-square-foot public refrigerated warehouse, is bringing frozen distribution back to the local market with national and international reach. Located along the region’s Opportunity Corridor, the facility provides customers with a full range of temperature-controlled storage and distribution services.

More than 50% of the facility’s space has already been rented to local companies like Orlando Baking Company and Arlington Valley Farms, both of which were previously moving products to other markets for storage and distribution. Other local, regional, national, and international processors, grocers, and distributors are anticipated to utilize the services of the facility which will be operated by Nor-Am Cold Storage, a top 20 global public refrigerated warehouse. The 16,500-pallet freezer can accommodate shippers of all sizes and requirements. The strategically located facility provides users with easy access to Interstates 77 and 90.
