2024 NAIOP Finalist - Interior Project of the Year
Goodman Logistics Center Fullerton, Sprouts Farmers Market | Oltmans Construction Co.
The interior project in Fullerton marked a significant milestone for Sprouts Farmers Markets. Before the hub's completion, Sprouts operated its distribution out of Colton, leasing a facility from Lineage Logistics. Oltmans Construction Co. was contracted to complete the project tenant improvement and coordinate with Sprout's contractor for the cold storage component of the distribution center. The project aimed to expand Sprouts ‘ operations and enhance its supply chain efficiency. According to the Orange County Business Journal, the company's chief supply chain officer, Joe Hurley, highlighted the hub's state-of-the-art features, including cold storage rooms at optimal temperatures between 34 and 55 degrees Fahrenheit. This upgrade ensured the freshness of products and reduced transportation-related emissions, saving approximately 725,000 annual road miles by optimizing delivery routes to stores. The hub's convenient location in the Southern California market played a crucial role in achieving this success.
Beyond business achievements, the completion of the project showcased Sprouts' commitment to community engagement. The Sprouts Charitable Foundation's donation of $65,000 to Fullerton schools, with Commonwealth Elementary receiving $15,000 and Maple Elementary obtaining $50,000, reflected a dedication to educational and environmental initiatives. Notably, the emphasis on cafeteria composting at Maple Elementary underscored the company's holistic approach to corporate social responsibility, making the project commercially successful and socially impactful.
2024 NAIOP Award - Best Manufacturing
Goodman Logistics Center Fullerton | Oltmans Construction Co.
Goodman Logistics Center Fullerton is a LEED-certified ground-up development of four (4) buildings spanning 66 acres, which required demolition of 1.3 million s.f. of industrial buildings prior to start. Each of the four buildings is equipped with office spaces, warehouses, and integrated loading docks. The facility is conveniently situated near the Long Beach ports and a nearby rail line. It also offers easy access to the 91 and 57 freeways, located less than a mile away. The intricate tilt-up process gives this project a unique look and appeal. The project had secured tenants prior to the campus's completion, resulting in the creation of new permanent jobs for the local community. Tenants at this campus include well-known companies such as Sprouts Farmers Market, Samsung, and Bandai Namco. Considering these factors, the project stands as a strong nominee for Industrial Project of the Year.
One of the biggest challenges in this redevelopment was the significant fill required to balance the site. Home to the previous Kimberly-Clark manufacturing facility, the site housed a complex maze of underground tunnels filled with leftover equipment and boilers that required import. Oltmans oversaw the demolition of the facility in a process that spanned nearly 6 months. The demolition scope included over 1.3 million sq ft. of building and all associated site work. The team worked with the demolition subcontractor to crush and recycle all existing concrete and brought in nearly 30,000 yards of spoils from the street work taken from Orangethorpe and Kimberly. Despite these significant efforts, the project site was still short by nearly 130,000 yards of soil.
