Manchester Commerce Center

Project Scope

Kinsley Construction provided comprehensive site development and building services for the design-build Manchester Commerce Center, an industrial park designed to accommodate three speculative warehouses totaling 2.5 million square feet. Meeting the project’s aggressive schedule required innovation and coordination across multiple internal teams.

To keep construction progress on pace and to meet the significant concrete demand, Kinsley Materials mobilized a portable on-site concrete plant, streamlining production, improving efficiency and reducing overall costs.

Site Development

Our team prepared the 246-acre site for vertical construction, performing a full range of site development services, including:

Rock blasting

Clearing and grubbing

Cut-to-fill operations

Building pad subgrade preparation

Final subgrade and basin stabilization

Installation of stormwater, sanitary sewer, water line and culvert systems

Retaining wall construction

Roadwork
