Zippy Shell

Designed and built for Zippy Shell, this project is a 75,000-square-foot distribution facility in San Jose, California.

This project consists of an approximately 75,000 SF build-to-suit distribution facility designed to support efficient warehouse operations and controlled site access. The building includes an approximately 73,000 SF warehouse, a 2,000 SF office, and a 10,000 SF exterior storage area, providing additional capacity for equipment and material staging.

The facility is constructed using tilt-up concrete construction with a hybrid roof deck system and is designed with a 32-foot clear height to support racking and material handling. Shipping and receiving operations include two dock positions and one drive-in ramp, supporting flexible loading configurations. The building includes eleven entry points and automated site gates, allowing controlled access and circulation.

Electrical infrastructure includes a 2,500-amp electrical service, and interior spaces are illuminated with high-bay, motion-activated LED lighting to improve energy efficiency. Fire protection is provided by an ESFR sprinkler system with a diesel fire pump, supporting high-piled storage requirements.

Site improvements include a bioretention facility along the warehouse perimeter for stormwater management and 41 car parking spaces to support staff and visitors. The project was engineered to deliver a durable, secure, and efficient distribution facility with integrated site infrastructure.
