CORNELIUS, Ore. – Wed., June 21, 2023 – AltaBird Investments and The City of Cornelius celebrated a groundbreaking ceremony for the Meadowlark Industrial Center on Friday, June 16. Located at the northeast corner of N. Holladay & N. 4th Ave. in Oregon’s Silicon Forest, the new development is comprised of 154,643 square feet of manufacturing and warehouse building space.
“This project is a nice addition to the growing Cornelius business portfolio,” said Jeffrey C. Dalin, Mayor of Cornelius. “We appreciate that AltaBird Investments chose Cornelius for this project and look forward to helping them see it through to completion.”
The new project signifies the last remaining available industrial parcel for the city. Upon completion, Meadowlark Industrial Center will accommodate up to four tenants for either lease or sale. The development also features 32’ clear height, 29 dock-high doors, two grade level drive-in doors, 102 car parks and 3,000-amp electrical power service, as well as convenient and reliable commute times for building tenants.
“After careful planning, consideration, and with a close working relationship with the City of Cornelius, we were thrilled to break ground and begin developing the Meadowlark Industrial Center,” said Brendan Mason, Principal and CEO at AltaBird Investments.
AltaBird Investments Principal and CFO Noah Pokrass added, “We’re grateful to the City of Cornelius for their significant foresight regarding the infrastructure for this site, and we look forward to the wide range of opportunities this state-of-the-art distribution center will provide for the Silicon Forest community for years to come.”
In addition to AltaBird Investments and The City of Cornelius, the Meadowlark Industrial Center project team consists of:
- Tuan Q. Luu and Jeff Wilder – MDG Architecture | Interiors (Architect)
- John Barnes and Hans Howard – Sierra Construction (General Contractor)
- Jerry Matson – Colliers International (Brokerage)
- Will Grimm – First Forty Feet (Planner)
“In one of the most supply-constrained markets on the West Coast (with an industrial vacancy rate of 1%), AltaBird Investments’ Meadowlark Industrial Center is answering the cries of many frustrated users trying to expand,” said Colliers’ Jerry Matson. “With an expected delivery in February 2024, this building will arrive well ahead of the few remaining land sites in the region.”
