VanTrust Will Develop BTS for Owens Corning Near Columbus

VanTrust Real Estate was selected by Owens Corning to build a state-of-the art warehouse in the city of Heath, OH, near Columbus. The 750,000-square-foot building will consolidate much of the Fortune 500 company’s existing warehouse capacity in the region. 

Kansas City, MO-based VanTrust broke ground on the site in mid-April, with expected completion by the end of the year. The new warehouse will be located at 840 Thornwood Dr. in Heath.

Owens Corning will take occupancy in early 2022. Owens Corning was represented in negotiations by CBRE’s AJ Magner, Josh Heiple and Michael Mullady. 

“We worked quickly to identify a build-to-suit site for the project and through the partnership with the city, we were able to turn a piece of farmland into a modern 750,000-square-foot warehouse,” said Phil Rasey, VP of development at VanTrust.
