Browning/Duke Realty Deliver Regal's New Logistics
Headquarters in AllPoints Midwest
New LEED® registered, 376,000 SF facility delivered in five months and on budget.
(Indianapolis, Ind. - Nov. 8, 2012) Browning/Duke Realty today announced the completion of Regal Beloit Corporation's (NYSE: RBC) new regional distribution and logistics headquarters in AllPoints Midwest, a bulk industrial park being developed jointly by the two companies in Indianapolis' southwest submarket. The 376,000-square foot building, which is LEED® New Construction registered, was delivered September 30, four weeks ahead of the targeted delivery date of
November 1, 2012. The build-to-suit facility was also delivered on budget.
"We have officially moved into our new facility and are extremely pleased with the finished product. The building provides us with everything we wanted in a state-of-the-art logistics center and, as promised, was fully operational by November 1," said Linda Shaw, Regal's Vice President of Customer Care and Logistics. "Duke Realty's construction team worked diligently to ensure that our new building met our specifications and was ready for occupancy by our designated deadline. Their construction capabilities, shovel-ready site and commitment to delivering promises all worked together to provide us with a first-class, energy-efficient facility in the timeframe and location we wanted."
"Delivering Regal's new headquarters on time and on budget was a commitment our team took very seriously and worked very hard to meet," said Charlie Podell, Senior Vice President of Duke Realty's Indiana operations. "We are pleased that we were able to provide Regal with a first-class facility in their desired location and within the established schedule and budget."
AllPoints Midwest is one of the newest and largest modern bulk distribution parks in the Indianapolis area. AllPoints Midwest, which is being jointly developed by Duke Realty and Browning, includes 958 acres of land with a planned 13.6 million square feet of bulk distribution buildings. The park offers unparalleled intermodal transportation opportunities in the Midwest. Located near the Indianapolis International Airport, Interstate 70 and CSX railroad's Avon intermodal yard, AllPoints Midwest companies will benefit from improved shipping speed and reliability, avoid the Chicago intermodal rail bottleneck, and be served with intermodal rail service to and from most major markets.
"Regal's new facility in AllPoints Midwest gives it high-quality, efficient space and puts it in a submarket with multiple transportation options," added Dennis Dye, Executive Vice President with Browning. "We look forward to duplicating the successful experience that Regal had in getting a build-to-suit facility delivered quickly in AllPoints Midwest with other companies."
In seeking LEED New Construction certification for Regal's new facility, numerous green practices and features were incorporated into its construction. Sustainable characteristics of Regal's building include:
• Energy management, including high-efficiency heating, ventilation and air-conditioning systems.
• A construction waste management program to divert more than 75 percent of waste from the landfill.
• Water-efficient plumbing fixtures.
• Use of regionally manufactured and recycled materials.
• Use of only certified wood products recognized by the Forest Stewardship Council.
• Specifying low-VOC (volatile organic compounds) emitting construction materials to improve indoor air quality and occupant health.
• Highly reflective roof surfaces for a reduction in heat island effect caused by development.
