A M King is partnering with Aldi U.S. to provide property consulting, design, and construction of its new 570,660-sq-ft divisional headquarters and distribution center facility in Loxley, Ala.
New elements for efficiency will be incorporated into the facility, such as 6-ft thick insulated metal panels in lieu of concrete tilt or precast concrete exterior panels, optimum racking organization determined by product analysis from storage and flow perspectives, cross-docking services, a full solar array over the dry warehouse, drive-in style dock doors in the perishable docks, and LED lighting throughout the entire building and site.
