Brinkmann Constructors, a national general contractor, in partnership with Coastal Cold Storage, a Missouri-based warehouse and distribution company, recently completed a state-of-the- art 127,000-square-foot industrial cold storage distribution center. This facility, the first of three planned phases, was completed in just nine months, setting the stage for continued expansion.

“We are proud to have delivered this state-of-the-art cold storage facility ahead of the original timeline— saving the client both time and money,” said Kendrick Lathum, vice president – national industrial market leader at Brinkmann Constructors. “This project reflects our commitment to constructing high-quality industrial facilities that enable our clients to thrive in an increasingly demanding market.”

Strategically located off Interstate 70 in Warren County, Missouri, Coastal Cold Storage owns and operates the new facility, which is designed to meet the growing demand for cold storage solutions in the region. The warehouse includes a 55,600-square-foot freezer, a 29,300-square-foot cooler with a 42-foot clear height, a 23,500-square-foot cold dock spanning 70 feet deep, and a total capacity of 16,500 pallet positions. These primary storage areas are complemented by an 8,600-square-foot office and support area.

“This facility represents a significant step forward in our mission to provide best-in-class cold storage solutions,” said John Dunard, owner of Coastal Cold Storage. “With our prime location, advanced refrigeration systems, and focus on operational efficiency, we are positioned to serve food distributors and temperature-sensitive supply chains with unmatched reliability.”

Brinkmann Constructors worked closely with Coastal Cold Storage to design and build the facility to meet the high-level and demanding operational requirements, incorporating energy-efficient construction practices, advanced refrigeration technology, and optimized storage configurations.
