Cold Summit Development, a leading provider of innovative cold storage solutions, is thrilled to announce plans for a new build-to-suit cold storage facility at the Reimann Industrial Center in Pasco, Washington. This strategic development, welcomed by the Port of Pasco, addresses the growing need for advanced cold storage infrastructure in one of the nation’s most productive agricultural regions.
Strategically positioned adjacent to the new $600 million Darigold plant and in close proximity to major food producers like Lamb Weston and Twin City Foods, the new facility will offer unparalleled access to key transportation networks. With direct BNSF rail access connecting to the ports of Seattle and Tacoma, the site is ideally suited to support the efficient movement of perishable goods across domestic and international markets.
Key Features of the Cold Summit Pasco Facility:
- Flexible Temperature Zones: Designed to accommodate a range of storage needs, with customizable temperature settings from -20°F to 55°F, ideal for food, pharmaceutical, and logistics industries.
- Build-to-Suit Customization: Unlike Cold Summit’s typical speculative builds, this facility will be tailored to the specific operational requirements of committed partners, including producers and third-party logistics (3PL) providers.
- Prime Location: Situated in the heart of Washington’s food production region, the facility ensures proximity to raw material suppliers and consumer markets, enhancing supply chain efficiency.
- Sustainable Design: Incorporating energy-efficient systems and environmentally friendly materials, the facility will align with Cold Summit’s commitment to sustainability and EnergyStar certification standards.
The Reimann Industrial Center, a 300-acre BNSF Certified Site, has emerged as a hub for food processing and logistics, bolstered by significant infrastructure investments from the Port of Pasco and partners like Franklin County, the City of Pasco, Franklin PUD, and Cascade Natural Gas. The addition of Cold Summit’s facility will further strengthen the region’s position as a leader in the global cold chain.
“We are excited to partner with Cold Summit to bring this critical infrastructure to the Reimann Industrial Center,” said Stephen McFadden, CEcD, Director of Economic Development & Marketing at the Port of Pasco. “This facility will support our region’s robust food production industry and enhance our connectivity to global markets through BNSF rail access.”
Jason Fincher, Vice President of Strategy and Logistics at Cold Summit Development, added, “The Pasco facility represents a unique opportunity to collaborate with local producers and logistics operators to design a state-of-the-art cold storage solution. By building to suit, we can ensure the facility meets the precise needs of our partners, driving efficiency and innovation in the cold chain.”
Cold Summit invites pallet users and industry partners to join in shaping this facility from the ground up. The company’s track record of delivering high-performance, flexible cold storage solutions—such as its fully leased Dallas I and Phoenix facilities—underscores its commitment to excellence and innovation.
