TCC Delivers Largest Spec Warehouse Ever in Pacific Northwest; Announces $100K Scholarship

Trammell Crow Company (TCC), a leading commercial real estate developer with JV partner Diamond Realty Investments, has completed construction of Mid I-5, the largest speculative industrial facility ever built in the Pacific Northwest. TCC is also announcing an approximately $100,000 contribution to Lower Columbia College for the TCC Endowed Scholarship.

Located adjacent to Interstate 5, Exit 36 at 2700 Talley Way in Kelso, Washington, Mid I-5 encompasses 82 acres and includes a 1,185,327-square-foot speculative industrial and logistics building. Having begun construction in August 2023, the single-story, cross-dock facility features 40-foot clear heights, 650 feet of building depth, 8,000 amps of electrical service, 219 dock doors, 348 trailer parking stalls, and 427 auto parking stalls. The project also includes adjacent land that could accommodate 475 additional trailer stalls, a yard area, or 225,000 sq. ft. of additional building. The facility is expected to become LEED-certified in 2025.

Project partners include Sierra Construction, which acted as the general contractor; Gibbs & Olson, which acted as the civil engineer; and HPA Architecture, which served as the architect of record. Cara Nolan of CBRE Portland and Andrew Stark of CBRE Seattle are handling the property's marketing and leasing. Leasing information can be found here.

“For a large-scale user with an immediate need in the Pacific Northwest, Mid I-5 offers a premier location with a great local labor force,” said Kirk Olsen, a principal with TCC Portland. “The highly visible property, located between Portland and Seattle, is accessible by a signalized intersection at Exit 36 where I-5 averages 75,000 vehicles per day.”

As part of TCC’s commitment to supporting the communities in which it does business, a contribution of approximately $100,000 has been made to Lower Columbia College to create the TCC Endowed Scholarship, awarded to underrepresented students majoring in welding, machining, or manufacturing.

"Investing in the next generation of tradespeople is crucial for building a resilient and innovative future,” continued Olsen. “By supporting people educating themselves in the trades, we secure the skilled workforce needed for tomorrow's challenges and empower them with valuable, lifelong careers. We’re proud to partner with Lower Columbia College in this mission."

Lower Columbia College President Dr. Matt Seimears shared, "Lower Columbia College appreciates TCC's commitment to our local community through its generous investment in scholarship opportunities. By supporting underrepresented student populations pursuing education in vocational trades programs, TCC is helping to build a brighter future for all."
