Industrial developer PNK Group will construct an 846,000-square-foot facility in the Greater Richmond area.

On April 17, PNK Group held a groundbreaking ceremony for its new development, PNK Ashton Park, located in Chesterfield County, Virginia. The new multi-functional facility will span 846,000 square feet on a site covering 86.6 acres. It is designed for flexible use by either a single tenant or multiple occupants.

According to PNK Group Partner Mark Stiles, the region holds strategic importance for the company, while the project itself is of great interest to local authorities. This is reflected in the participation of Chesterfield County leadership and the Chesterfield Economic Development Office at the event.

“The Greater Richmond region is among the top five markets in the Southeast U.S. with the lowest vacancy in Class A industrial space,” said Jim Ingle, Chair of the Chesterfield County Board of Supervisors and Bermuda District Supervisor. “I understand from our economic development team that there have been several visits by prospects to the site, so I know the building will be leased in no time.”

The region’s strong position within the state is further reinforced by the presence of major national tenants such as FedEx, Lego, Sabra, and Church & Dwight, along with prominent local companies like Shepherd Electric and A&A Transfer. Demand continues to grow, while available land for new development remains limited.

PNK Group employs proprietary construction technology that significantly streamlines the building process compared to traditional methods. Utilizing standardized large-block components produced at the company’s manufacturing facilities in Georgia and Pennsylvania, PNK can deliver buildings faster and more efficiently than market averages. This modular method also reduces the need for a large onsite workforce and heavy equipment.

PNK Group’s facilities are highly versatile and suitable for a variety of uses — from manufacturing to storage and distribution. With ceiling heights of up to 45 feet and reinforced concrete structures, the buildings are engineered to support heavy equipment and cranes with capacities of up to 8 tons, enabling tenants to operate across a broad range of industrial applications.

March 12 – PNK Group has finished a new building near Atlanta

Next-generation industrial building developer PNK Group has constructed a 1.2 million-square-foot facility.

PNK Group has completed a new industrial building in the town of McDonough, 35 miles from downtown Atlanta. The 1,219,826-square-foot PNK Lambert A building is complete and can accommodate future owners at any time. It can be used for manufacturing, warehousing or as a distribution center. The design includes the option to expand the space to 1.532 million square feet or provide additional parking.

PNK Lambert A is part of the PNK Park Southern Gateway industrial park, which in turn is part of a larger cluster that is home to such corporations as Ecolab, Horizon Group USA, Whirpool, The Home Depot, Kimberly-Clark, and many others. This location is important to companies that distribute goods in the Atlanta metropolitan area, as well as manufacturing companies.

The industrial park is located just two miles from I-75 highway connecting the Southeast to the Midwest. It offers convenient access to the major seaports of Savannah in Georgia, Charleston in South Carolina and Jacksonville in Florida.

The design features of the new multifunctional building allow the installation of an overhead crane with a lifting capacity of up to eight tons at any desired location. The structural stability of the building is enhanced with Self-stable prefab precast concrete columns and footer one solid unit with a rebar reinforced frame. Column spacing is 50 feet by 56 feet. The depth of the speed way is 60 feet.

PNK Lambert A features reinforced concrete floors (8” slab thickness, 4000 psi, reinforced with steel prefab mesh) to withstand heavy equipment and high loads. The building’s roof has a 60 mil, R-25 TPO membrane and Internal Siphonic Roof Drain System. System eliminates contamination and icing of the Truck Court. The facility has state-of-the-art utility systems. Lighting – 30 FC on 15’ Whips (and motion sensors). Ventilation – MAU/ 3 air changes (louvers and mechanical damper, freeze protection).

The building was constructed using PNK technology. For this purpose, high-precision reinforced precast concrete structural frame and other standardized elements were produced in advance at the company’s own plants in Pennsylvania and Georgia, which allowed to level out the human factor, and the work was completed much faster than the market average.  

As an engineering and manufacturing pioneer, PNK Group spearheads technological advancements in industrial construction. The company’s construction methodology, utilizing large-unit blocks, streamlines building assembly through precise element production, minimizing the need for extensive labor and heavy machinery.

January 28 — PNK Group has invested $120 million in a building for Ecolab in North Carolina.

PNK Group, developer of a new generation of industrial buildings, has built a
distribution center with more than 1 million square feet of space.

second building constructed by PNK Group for Ecolab Corporation, a major global leader in water, hygiene and infection prevention solutions.
PNK Group’s investment in this building was approximately $120 million. PNK
Group bought the land, designed the building and supervised the entire
construction process. The total area of the building, that has been already handed
over to the Customer, is 1,057,564 square feet. 

The first distribution center was built in Atlanta and became part of the PNK
Southern Gateway Industrial Park. The new cooperation confirmed that the
partners trust each other and the customer is satisfied with the level and quality
of the building.
