General Mills and Rockefeller wrap up 1.5 mil sq. ft DC in Georgia

Rockefeller Group Development Corp. announced today it has wrapped up work on its 1.5-million-square foot distribution center built for General Mills in Social Circle, GA. The New York-based real estate owner and developer says the building located about 45 miles east of Atlanta is the largest LEED Gold certified industrial building in the U.S. and the second-largest in the world.

The building on a 130-acre site on Hightower Trail in the Walton County community is the largest industrial building in Rockefeller Group’s portfolio, said Les Smith, executive vice president for development.

Rockefeller and General Mills originally sought Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Silver certification.
