Today, Opus North Corporation announced a design-build construction contract with King Shan, LLC, for a 35,000-square-foot warehouse/distribution facility located on 2.48-acres at Oakview Corporate Park in West Dundee, Ill.

 

King Shan is a leading manufacture of steel wire and metal fabrication products, and is headquartered in Taipei, Taiwan. The new facility, designed by Opus Architects & Engineers, is strategically located near original equipment manufacturing (OEM) clients and will serve as a distribution center. Construction on the facility is scheduled to begin in early May, and building completion by late September, 2010. Noel Liston from Darwin Realty and Development represented both King Shan and Opus in the transaction.

 

“The award of this project was truly a team effort,” said Mike Yungerman, vice president of real estate development for Opus North. “King Shan needed space by the end of the 3rd quarter and was originally only looking at buying an existing building. We were able to present a complete package that included the land, design and construction services all within their very tight delivery and budget goals.”

 

“We look forward to welcoming King Shan as a tenant in Oakview,” said Yungerman. King Shan, LLC joins Leafs Hockey Club, Maytec, Inc, General Technologies and Plastival, Inc in the Park. Oakview Corporate Park totals 120 acres and features build-to-suit sites from three to over 30-acres, with over 45-acres having been set aside as wetlands and nature preserve. Including this new development, this is the third project Opus North has developed in the Park totaling approximately 300,000 square-feet. Noel Liston and Rick Daly from Darwin Realty and Development are the exclusive agents for Oakview Corporate Park.
