New Details Released for Kent Manufacturing and Innovation Campus
Growing demand from aerospace, defense, space, and emerging technology companies is driving plans for the Kent Manufacturing & Innovation Campus (KMIC), a proposed 9.3-acre industrial development in the Pacific Northwest. Mortenson is advancing the project in partnership with the city of Kent.
The 9.3-acre site is emerging as a future home for specialized occupiers seeking customized next-gen space in the Pacific Northwest. Marketed by Kidder Mathews, the KMIC campus can accommodate 150,000 to 300,000 square feet of customized manufacturing, research and development, office, and industrial space.
The property benefits from proximity to a recently upgraded Puget Sound Energy substation capable of supporting up to 20 megawatts of power. “In nearly every conversation we’re having with advanced manufacturers, electrical capacity is a key topic as automation, robotics, and other advanced production technologies continue to drive demand,” said Kidder’s Matt Murray, SIOR, who leads leasing efforts alongside Chris Corr and Dane Dahline, SIOR. The project recently received SEPA approval, completing the project’s environmental review process.
