The Opus Group® Announces Start of Construction at Valley Park Business Center

​MINNEAPOLIS - The Opus Group announced today the start of construction on an approximately 200,000-square-foot speculative industrial warehouse and distribution facility in Shakopee, Minn.

Located with convenient access to Highway 169 and Highway 101, this construction marks the start of phase 1 at the future Valley Park Business Center.

“It’s great to see this project break ground and we’re confident in our timing from the activity we’ve seen in the industrial sector during the past year,” said Dave Menke, executive vice president of Opus Development Company, L.L.C. “There is limited new industrial product coming on line in the Twin Cities market, so this building and future phases will help fill a void in the area.”

Building features include 32-foot clear height, 37 dock doors, two drive-in doors and approximately 160 parking stalls. The facility is slated for completion in spring 2014.

Opus Development Company, L.L.C. is the developer, Opus Design Build, L.L.C. is the design-builder and Opus AE Group, L.L.C. is the architect and engineer.
