Challenge

B&D Holdings, a privately held industrial real estate development firm, required MSK’s services for the development of an approximate 8,000 sf product distribution center “last mile” warehouse building (including 1,000 sf of dedicated office space) on an existing commercially zoned property within an industrial park in the Town of Barre, VT.  

Solution

Our design team provided conceptual designs, 65% permit drawings, 85% design development docs, construction plan documents, and limited construction administration services. As part of the scope, we prepared permit applications for zoning approval and coordinated with the Municipal Zoning Administrator to ensure project compliance with zoning bylaws and regulations. We also developed the Act 250 Land Use permit application for an amendment to an existing permit series, including coordination with the Vermont Agency of Agriculture to confirm the mitigation plan to preserve primary agricultural soils on the site. Wastewater and water supply permitting was also required for the building’s new municipal connections. 

The site was covered under an existing stormwater permit that had to be amended to reflect the new development. Stormwater treatment compliance was met utilizing Tier 1 and 2 treatment practices with the project parcel. 

Results

Construction was completed in June 2024.
