Our fifth major project for Cheney Brothers, Inc. Headquarters is underway — raising the bar for modern food processing facilities.
We’re partnering on a 72,000+ sf, USDA-certified food processing facility in Pompano Beach that will house Grand Western Beef, with dedicated meat and poultry processing areas, five loading docks, a Cheney Express, and a fully equipped test kitchen.
When complete next year, the facility will expand capacity, integrate advanced processing technologies, and improve access to key Florida transportation routes.
In refrigerated food processing, design decisions directly impact food safety and product integrity. From hygiene zoning to material selection and building systems, every element is carefully coordinated to support clean, controlled movement from raw product to finished goods.
Built for South Florida conditions, the concrete structure is designed to withstand hurricane-force winds up to 170 mph. Features like a raised parapet at the dock wall help shield critical rooftop refrigeration systems while also contributing to the building’s overall form.
At the main entry, a 24-foot impact-rated glass curtain wall and refined detailing will highlight Cheney’s brand with their signature red and white accents.
Always a privilege to partner on projects that push food processing forward!
