A new $27 million cold storage facility is coming to Foley and bringing over 91,000 square feet of Class A warehousing and office space to support the growing demand for industrial product in the central Baldwin and Gulf Coast region.

Baldwin Cold Logistics is located on Industrial Parkway adjacent to Foley Beach Express in the Foley Beach Express Industrial Park. With Phase 1 construction set to begin in the second quarter of 2026, the building will accommodate one large user, or it can be divided to serve multiple users, according to the Baldwin County Economic Development Alliance. It will include freezer storage, cold storage, machine handling equipment storage and office space.

"The addition of Baldwin Cold Logistics provides much-needed cold storage capacity for businesses in our growing area," Foley Mayor Ralph Hellmich said. "This facility will increase investment and jobs in Foley and encourage existing business growth. Its strategic location along the Foley Beach Express makes it an asset not only for Foley but for the entire Gulf Coast. We appreciate the Baldwin County Economic Development Alliance (BCEDA)'s work bringing this investment to our area."

The demand for industrial space along the Gulf Coast has grown in recent years, and Baldwin Cold Logistics is helping to meet this critical market need. Baldwin County has approximately 200,000 square feet of cold storage space, much of which is dedicated to a single user or needs significant upgrades.

"We have a significant need for space in our region, from office to industrial, and certainly cold storage space," said Lee Lawson, president and CEO of BCEDA. "For us to remain competitive on economic development projects and serve the greater community, we need these facilities constructed in Baldwin County, and we applaud the Baldwin Cold Logistics team for taking a step to develop this speculative space."

Leasing is underway in Foley, as Jake Parker of CBRE Birmingham currently lists and facilitates real estate transactions for Baldwin Cold Storage. Learn more about the project and leasing opportunities at www.CBRE.com.
