Project Falcon

Project Scope

The Falcon Parkway Industrial Park Campus consisted of two distinct phases. Falcon Parkway Phase 1 included two Class A, tilt wall construction warehouses on the same site, totaling 642,000 SF. Building 100 was a 36’ clear height cross-dock facility with a 7” thick conventional slab design. Building 200 was a 32’ clear height rear load facility with a 6” conventional slab design. The site featured 185’ truck courts and a large auto parking area requiring extensive site work, utility work, and several large retaining walls. The site location also required a Department of Transportation scope of work to expand and add deceleration lanes to the adjacent state route. LEED design and construction requirements were followed to achieve LEED certification for both buildings. Phase 2 of the Falcon Parkway Industrial Park project consisted of three Industrial spec warehouses totaling 496,195 SF on 44 acres. Building 300 contains 221,639 SF, Building 400 contains 125,817 SF, and Building 500 contains 148,739 SF. The project also featured three tenant buildouts, which were executed concurrently.

Challenge Faced

At the Falcon site, the sanitary sewer design was one of the more significant challenges at the project’s outset. Reeves Young had to fit in multiple pump stations and lay about a mile of sanitary piping, all while working smoothly with nearby businesses to minimize disruptions to their daily operations. The project site also spanned three cities: Flowery Branch, Oakwood, and Gainesville. Due to the after-effects of a global pandemic, the team also faced material challenges, including cost inflation and shortages.

Solution Provided

Our team planned carefully and collaborated closely to handle the sanitary sewer challenge, ensuring the project’s goals matched our resources. Those pump stations and the network of pipes weren’t just logistical wins; they came from a well-coordinated effort to blend the project seamlessly into its surroundings. It also required significant coordination with all three cities affected to ensure all work was completed according to the local jurisdictional requirements. Coordinating this application for the best use of the project allowed us to supply the project with a reliable system for the end user. By coordinating the tenant build-out scopes concurrently, the team was also able to minimize downtime, optimize efficiencies, and reduce overall project timelines to deliver for all three tenants successfully.
