Due to OMNIlife's immediate need to house employees, an existing building was redesigned to accommodate 20 offices, 46 cubicles, and robotic functions.
The resulting 348,000 SF Gordon Food Service facility entailed 2-story executive offices, a cooler dock, freezer, dry goods storage, 6 pump fuel station, and 45 loading docks. Completion time was only 4 months with $264,000 returned in savings.
Dacon was subsequently asked to return and renovate 3 additional floors. Estimated close to cost, $7,000 was returned to the client. Formerly vacant for 5 years, this building became fully leased with Dacon designing the retail block.
