Determined to provide fresher food to local communities more efficiently, GrowNYC in partnership with NYS Economic Development Corporation, has selected Aurora as the General Contractor for a future cold storage facility to be built in the Hunt’s Point area of the Bronx.

• Building design allows future tenants to customize and fit their business needs flexibly into the space
• This brown field site requires Aurora to constantly monitor any soil disturbance, as well as tracking the sub surface materials closely
• The building envelope is made up of precast sandwich panels, living wall systems, curtainwalls and storefront systems, metal panel systems, stainless steel planter boxes and canopies
• The building has a 10-foot-wide radiant heat zone around the freezer
• The green roof system is a four inch vegetated tray system on a four inch water collection tray system on loose laid 40 mil protection membrane on TPO .060 roof membrane
• On the roof, there is a 30,000 gallon sprinkler storage tank, as well as a 12,500 gallon water reclamation system on the first floor
