Distribution Center Site Planning

Musician's Friend, Kansas City, Missouri

Musician's Friend had quintupled its space requirements since moving to Kansas City. Needed was an expandable 700,000-square-foot distribution center - and quickly, before the current lease ran out. TranSystems evaluated six sites and then fast-tracked site survey, geotechnical investigations, environmental mitigation, site plan design submittals, and permitting negotiations. The permitting time line was reduced by 4 to 5 months; environmental approvals were obtained in only 3 1/2 months. The new facility has transformed the company into one of the city's top 100 employers.
