In November 2023, DSI South, in collaboration with Karis Cold, initiated an exciting and forward-looking endeavor with the groundbreaking of Jacksonville Cold. This 265,264 SF project introduces a state-of-the-art cold storage warehouse designed to redefine industry benchmarks. The facility boasts exceptional features, including 50-foot clear heights, an Insulated Metal Panel (IMP) warehouse structure, and full convertibility to accommodate temperatures ranging from -10º F to 55º F. It also offers substantial logistics and storage capabilities with 150 car parking spaces, two drive-in doors, 38 dock-high loading bays, 56 trailer parking spots, 10,200 square feet of dedicated office space, and approximately 40,536 pallet positions for storage.
The 24 acre site is strategically located, the property is just 6 miles from the CSX intermodal facility, 8 miles from the Norfolk Southern intermodal facility, and 24 miles from the FEC intermodal facility, ensuring efficient transportation and distribution channels. Additionally, the warehouse benefits from excellent connectivity to major highways, including I-95, I-295, and I-10. Its proximity to key logistics hubs is also notable. It is only 15 miles from JAXPORT and 17 miles from the Jacksonville International Airport (JIA), enhancing its accessibility and operational efficiency for businesses seeking a cutting-edge cold storage solution.
