Third-party logistics (3PL) provider Arcadia Cold has broken ground on its fifth cold storage facility in Jacksonville, US.

The ground-breaking ceremony was hosted by the project general contractor Primus Builders, in collaboration with Saxum Real Estate and local officials.

The ceremony included speakers such as Saxum Real Estate principal Kieran Flanagan, Primus Builders president Matt Hirsch, JAXUSA Partnership director John Freeman, and Jacksonville Port Authority director Rick Schiappacasse.

The 216,297ft² facility will add 30,254 pallet positions with blast-freezing capability.

Situated ten minutes from the Port of Jacksonville (JAXPORT), this Jacksonville cold storage will be Arcadia’s first facility to concentrate on port-based handling services.

Arcadia has announced five cold storage facilities in the last year, with locations in Burleson, Texas; Atlanta, Georgia; Hazleton, Pennsylvania, and Phoenix, Arizona.
