Rockefeller Group Development Corporation
 
   
 
Rockefeller Group Development Corporation is building a 1.5 million-square-foot distribution center for General Mills in the City of Social Circle in Walton County, Georgia, 50 miles east of Atlanta. Site work on the project began in spring 2009 with completion targeted for the second quarter of 2010.

The new facility will handle 167 trucks per day, 5,000 per month, to support the Southeast distribution operations of General Mills, one of the world's leading food companies. General Mills operates in over 100 countries and markets more than 100 consumer brands, including Cheerios, Häagen-Dazs, Nature Valley, Betty Crocker, Pillsbury, Green Giant, Old El Paso, and Progresso.

The building is being designed and constructed to achieve LEED Silver Certification (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) from the US Green Building Council.
 


RGDC is building the facility on a 130-acre site on East Hightower Trail, which is served by Georgia Railroad and CSX Intermodal, making the location ideal for distribution.

The building will be 2,322 feet long, almost a half mile, with 8 rail doors alongside the railroad and storage capacity for 500 trailers. According to real estate research PPR, the facility is the largest build-to-suit distribution center to be built in 2009. It will include more than 25,000 square feet of office space to accommodate administrative operations for the site. General Mills has the option to expand the building by 143,000 square feet to a total of more than 1.6 million square feet.
