Anheuser-Busch broke ground last September on a 167,000-square-foot warehouse and distribution facility on Hunts Point in the South Bronx. The $40 million, project is seeking an unspecified level of LEED certification and should open up sometime in October. The warehouse will sit on the site of a former brownfield and is supported by a pile foundation system; soils at the site are extremely unstable and the piles are necessary to brace the heavy traffic from Anheuser-Busch’s local fleet of 70 freight trucks. Specific green features also include a graywater irrigation system and native landscaping across the warehouse’s 13.5 acres.
