The first phase of the project was a 180,000-sf build-to-suit for American Honda that was completed in 2001. Honda uses the facility as a regional parts distribution center, zone office and technical training facility.
After a bit of a lull, Opus signed build-to-suit deals with Boise, ID based Winco Foods and Portland-based Teeny Foods, two bread products operations. Opus Northwest delivered Winco Foods' 55,000-sf central baking facility earlier this month and later this year will deliver Teeny Foods' 45,000-sf building.
On the remaining acreage, Opus is nearing completion of twin 35,500-sf speculative buildings being marketed by Cushman & Wakefield brokers Gary Randles, Tom Usher and Mark Carnese. Opus Northwest senior director Bruce Wood tells GlobeSt.com the leasing team is currently negotiating a 20,000-sf lease and "there are several other prospects looking at space."
As for the future of Columbia Gorge Corporate Center, Woods tells GlobeSt.com Opus still holds an option for another 24 acres of adjoining land owned by New Beginnings Christian Center, which sold Opus the first 30 acres.
