GRA 247 –Terminal Relocate
Situation:
Saia was nearing the end of an existing lease term at a facility located in
Kentwood, MI. The facility was not ideal as it was not configured in a
true cross dock layout where loading doors were positioned directly
across from one another. Locating a facility which could provide this
much more efficient layout was identified as a preferred option as
opposed to the extension of the existing lease agreement.
Solution:
Saia’s was able to locate a distressed property located in Wyoming,
Michigan that was in receivership and presented the opportunity for the
addition of an owned facility to the portfolio. Additionally the facility
was configured in the traditional cross dock format. The facility had been
vacant for more than three years and would require a significant
renovation to bring the facility up to code and suitable for the operations
team to efficiently conduct business.
End Result:
Saia’s real estate team was able to successfully secure the distressed
proper at a bargain price of $250,000.00 increasing Saia’s dock door and
yard capacity considerably. Utilizing the funds identified in a budget
developed for a capital appropriations request, the real estate team
engaged local and national vendors to facilitate the large renovation of
the facility which had been abandoned for three years. While the project
presented a number of obstacles the renovation was completed the
before the 2013 Christmas holiday and incorporated a new branding
scheme which the Real Estate team had developed just a few months
prior. The project included the full replacement of the existing asphalt,
new dock doors and the full renovation of the office including new
energy efficient lighting throughout the facility replacing the existing high
energy consuming fixtures.
