Frampton Construction Co. LLC, a Charleston-based full-service construction firm, has finished the construction of Delta Industrial Park in Gastonia, N.C.

 The Class-A industrial park was developed by Trinity Capital Advisors and features an 876,587-square-foot facility, according to a Frampton news release.

Located on Delta Drive directly off Interstate 85, the park benefits from prominent roadway visibility and easy interstate access, the release stated. The cross-dock building is constructed of concrete tilt walls and structural steel, with a 40-foot clear height, 180 dock positions, and four drive-in doors.

Notable items in the scope of work included the installation of a fire water tank measuring 31 feet in diameter with a capacity of 138,000 gallons, and the construction of a 64-foot retaining wall consisting of approximately 10,000 segmental blocks, the release stated. Frampton also coordinated the complex construction of a new high-voltage transmission tower by Duke Energy.

“We’re very proud of our team and trade partners for delivering this high-quality industrial building,” Joey Smith, vice president of Frampton Construction, said in the release. “The site work on this project was a monumental task unlike any other project. Over one million cubic yards of dirt was moved to get the site pad-ready. The Frampton project team and all of our trade partners worked tirelessly through various challenges and delivered an incredible project.”

Merriman Schmitt Architects completed the design for the building. Thomas & Hutton served as the civil engineer, and JLL is handling leasing. Work on the site began in November 2021 and was completed in June 2023.
