Build-to-Suit Solutions

Cold Summit’s build-to-suit approach ensures that each facility is designed to meet specific temperature, storage, and operational requirements. We collaborate with clients to determine optimal layout configurations, racking systems, automation potential, and value-added services such as blast freezing, ripening, and packaging. Our goal is to create a high-performance facility that enhances productivity and scalability.

Strategic site selection is critical to supply chain success. Cold Summit conducts detailed network analysis and feasibility studies to identify optimal locations for new cold storage facilities. We evaluate transportation access, logistics efficiency, and market demand, ensuring each site is positioned to support seamless inbound and outbound distribution. We also integrate rail, port, and highway connectivity to enhance supply chain resilience.

Cold Summit offers flexible financing structures, from 100% user-financed to 100% Cold Summit-financed projects, including 100% debt financing options. We provide capital expenditure (CapEx) and operational expense (OpEx) estimates, helping clients develop cost-effective investment strategies. Our expertise ensures projects are financially viable and structured for long-term success.

We incorporate energy-efficient design, natural refrigerants, and renewable energy solutions into our build-to-suit projects. Our facilities are designed for regulatory compliance and sustainability, reducing operating costs and environmental impact. By integrating microgrid technology and green building standards, Cold Summit ensures facilities meet the highest efficiency and sustainability benchmarks.

Cold Summit’s construction management team oversees the entire build-to-suit development process, ensuring projects are delivered on time, within budget, and to the highest industry standards. We manage entitlement and permitting to streamline approvals, implement value engineering for cost optimization, and oversee contractor management and risk mitigation to ensure quality execution and long-term facility performance.

Cold Summit delivers comprehensive move-in services to ensure every facility is truly move-in ready. We coordinate racking design and installation, manage tenant improvements (TI), provide digital system integration, and oversee office buildouts tailored to operational needs. Our turnkey approach streamlines the transition from construction to operation, allowing users to begin storing, processing, and shipping products efficiently from day one.
