IDI Building Certified LEED Silver

MEMPHIS, TN-Crossroads Distribution Center Building F, developed by Atlanta-based IDI, has become the largest industrial facility in the Southeast to achieve LEED certification. The 800,308-sf warehouse and distribution center, on 475 acres at Polk Lane and Stateline Road, was awarded LEED Silver status by the US Green Building Council.

“This is the first LEED-certified building that we’ve got completed, and have more in the pipeline,” Kurt Nelson, senior vice president and regional development officer for IDI’s Memphis office, tells GlobeSt.com. The company has already started on Building A at Crossroads Distribution Center, which is a 452,715-sf facility also designed for LEED certification.

“Sustainability has been part of our company’s culture since the beginning,” says Nelson. “IDI as a whole is committed to utilizing green practices over the long term, and receiving our first LEED certification in Memphis is a testament to our dedication at the local level as well.”
