The old GM Plant was purchased by our client Harvey Hanna & Associates. The 142-acre property was previously inhabited by General Motors assembly plant near Newport.  Part of the original site will become a logistics center for Dermody Properties, a distribution company with Amazon as a client. The new center is estimated to bring 1,000 full-time jobs to Delaware. Apex headed up the Civil Site Development Engineering portion for Harvey Hannah helping make the project more appealing to buyers like Dermody and Amazon.

The project was recorded in four months as a redevelopment of a brownfield site that proposes to construct four buildings totaling around three million square feet in new commercial space housed in four buildings. The buildings will be constructed in multiple phases, with additional green space, improved storm water management and new landscaping buffers added to the new business and distribution campus. The main parcel will also be subdivided into separate parcels.
