1 million-square-foot development in the works in Chesterfield

Chesterfield County:
“Chesterfield County’s Economic Development Department is working on a project that could bring more than 1 million square feet of industrial warehouse space to Bermuda Hundred Road near Meadowville Technology Park. Plans submitted to the county show four 252,000-square-foot warehouses and an office area on about 140 acres along the 2400 block of Bermuda Hundred Road off Interstate 295 near where Honeywell, Philip Morris and DuPont have plants or facilities.

Those involved in the deal, called ‘Project Twister,’ are being tight-lipped about details until they’re sure the deal is done. ‘It’s a codenamed project, and we don’t talk about projects, real or imagined,’ said Garrett Hart, assistant director of the county’s economic development office.

The developer, Seefried Industrial Properties of Atlanta, also was involved in developing the 1.2 million-square-foot Amazon.com fulfillment center in Meadowville in 2012. Seefried’s chief development officers did not return calls this week seeking comment.”
