Type: Office-warehouse
Size: 96,500 square feet
Site: 6.6 acres
Developer and architect: Opus Group
Details: A vacant lot long held as a possible expansion site for a Plymouth printing company is now being pitched as the site for a new multitenant office-warehouse building from Opus Group.
The Minnetonka-based developer is seeking city approvals for its Plymouth Point Business Center, envisioned as a 96,500-square-foot structure to be built on a lot next to Daily Printing along Niagara Lane in Plymouth's busy industrial area.
City planners say the lot has been vacant since the 1994 construction of Daily's current 70,000-square-foot building, held in reserve should the printer decide to expand. However, the company has now decided to sell the lot, and Opus has advanced a plan to construct a "state-of-the-art" commercial building at what it calls "a rare infill location" in Plymouth.
In a project narrative, Opus says its office-warehouse proposal is a natural fit for the 6.6-acre lot, benefiting from strong freeway access and proximity to nearby retail, restaurants and hotels. It would boast 24-foot clear ceiling heights with exterior features including painted precast concrete panels and thin brick panels at building entrances.
