ARCO National Construction recently completed a 74,261-square-foot distribution facility in San Jose, California for repeat client Zippy Shell Incorporated, a leading provider of portable storage and moving services. Located in the heart of Silicon Valley, the new facility expands Zippy Shell’s operational footprint in Northern California and supports the company’s continued growth across the moving and storage market following a merger with 1-800-PACK-RAT.   Built on a constrained site with the building footprint occupying nearly 45% of the parcel, the project required careful coordination and efficient use of space throughout design and construction. The facility features a 72,490-square-foot warehouse, 1,771 square feet of office space, a 6,000-square-foot exterior storage area, tilt-up construction, a hybrid roof deck, 32’ clear height, automated site gates, and a bioretention facility integrated along the warehouse perimeter.   We’re proud to have been part of this project and to continue our strong partnership with Zippy Shell as they expand their footprint nationwide! #construction #distribution #warehouse #california

Scaling cultivation capacity while maintaining strict environmental control is a complex challenge, especially in an industry where technical expertise directly impacts long-term success. Ascension BioMedical is expanding its operations in Oberlin, Ohio with a new 28,000-square-foot, two-story cultivation facility alongside the renovation of an existing 19,000-square-foot building. Together, the campus is designed to increase production capacity while creating a more efficient and controlled growing environment. ARCO National Construction is partnering with Ascension BioMedical to deliver a finished facility that meets the needs of their growing business. The project integrates nine flower rooms, two vegetation rooms, and two dedicated mother rooms, supported by approximately 640 grow lights with the ability to scale to nearly 1,280. Specialized HVAC systems, full-height demising walls, and an F-1 sprinkler system are incorporated to maintain environmental consistency and operational separation across the facility. The scope also includes completion of a partially constructed structure, requiring careful coordination between new construction and renovation work to ensure the campus functions as a cohesive system. Structural elements such as a conventional steel frame, high-performance roof system, mezzanine, and elevator are designed to support both current operations and future expansion. The result is a high-performance cultivation environment built to improve efficiency, increase capacity, and support long-term operational goals as the market continues to evolve. Projects like this require a clear understanding of both the technical demands of cultivation facilities and the importance of delivering a solution that performs from day one. ARCO looks forward to the successful completion of this project! #cannabis #cultivation #construction #ohio
