Cold Summit Phoenix

This 348,000 SF cold storage distribution center—with the capacity to expand to 488,000 SF—is a multi-tenant facility located within a 1,300-acre industrial park. Site improvements include stormwater retention and infiltration basins, rail service and loading docks, employee and truck parking facilities, desert landscape design, buffer walls, and security fencing. Langan provided designs for retention layout, grading, earthwork, drainage, stormwater management, and utility connections and relocations. We also developed the conceptual landform design, which set the site landscape framework. We chose native, desert species to provide a regional context, celebrate local plants, and limit irrigation and maintenance with drought-tolerant vegetation.
