Sansone Group Announces Development of Cold Storage Facility in Columbus, Ohio
St. Louis, MO - [March 21, 2025] - Sansone Group, in partnership with Clous Road Partners, has secured an 18.6-acre site in Columbus, Ohio, for the development of a 212,000-square-foot cold storage facility. This state-of-the-art project will address the increasing demand for temperature-controlled logistics in the Midwest, with advanced infrastructure designed to accommodate a range of cold storage needs.
Located on Groveport Road in the Northern Rickenbacker submarket, the site is less than five miles from Rickenbacker International Airport and offers direct access to key distribution routes, including I-270, I-70, and I-71. The facility will feature cutting-edge cold chain capabilities, including temperature settings ranging from 40°F to -20°F, 50-foot clear freezer heights, and a highly efficient layout to optimize logistics operations. The project is expected to break ground this summer.
The Groveport Cold Storage facility is strategically positioned within a region known as a hub for food and beverage manufacturing. Columbus is home to major industry leaders such as Chipotle, Kroger, Keurig Dr Pepper, Nestlé, and Wendy's, with over 277 food and beverage manufacturing establishments contributing $3 billion in annual gross regional product. The new facility will enhance distribution capabilities for companies operating in this sector while benefiting from a recently secured 15-year, 100% property tax abatement.
Sansone Group has partnered with JLL and CBRE to market the property, leveraging their expertise in industrial leasing. The facility will be developed in collaboration with Kadean Construction as the general contractor and Hercules Construction Management, ensuring high-quality execution and project oversight.
With over 50 million square feet developed across 32 states, Sansone Group remains committed to creating innovative and strategically located properties that serve evolving market needs.
