​Opus Launches Industrial in Earth City, MO

The Opus Group launched construction on a 13.5-acre industrial development in Earth City, MO, near St. Louis. Johnstone Supply, a leader in the HVACR industry, will occupy four acres with its new 45,000-square-foot headquarters and distribution center. The remaining 9.5 acres will contain a 111,000-square-foot speculative industrial development.

“Our team identified this location as one of the last developable sites in Earth City,” said Ryan Carlie, director of real estate development at Opus. “Through the expertise of our integrated team and strong broker relationships, we’ve been able to work closely with St. Louis County to develop a modern industrial building that will meet the demand for local, regional and national industrial users.”

Upon opening of the new headquarters and distribution center, Johnstone Supply will occupy 10,000 square feet for the company’s headquarters, which will include a training room and product showroom.
