Oliver / Hatcher Construction completed the third industrial warehouse at the Tri-County Commerce Center, delivering over 2,103,000 square feet of modern industrial space for tenants, including Amazon and LG Electronics.
The site, formerly a 130-acre property used for harness and thoroughbred horse racing since 1949—and previously an industrial landfill—underwent extensive transformation. Before construction, OHC led a sustainable demolition effort, dismantling buildings and barns and preserving recyclable materials. This effort resulted in the recovery of approximately 1,800 tons of steel, 26,000 tons of concrete and hard fill, and tens of thousands of board feet of barn wood, all sorted and bundled on-site for reuse.
Due to the site’s brownfield conditions, the project team implemented comprehensive remediation measures, including soil stabilization, hazardous waste removal, and asbestos abatement. To ensure a stable foundation, more than 32,000 Rammed Aggregate Piers (RAPs) were installed across the site.
The warehouse structures were built using pre-cast concrete wall panels set on embedded steel plates within concrete foundations. Each panel was temporarily supported by steel braces until the steel joists and decking were installed and the roof membrane secured. Final moment connections were then welded into place, completing the structural system efficiently and safely.
