1120 S. 2nd Street

Production at the Working Core

1120 S. 2nd Street is the first ground-up industrial building in Gateway South: a Class A, 32-foot-clear facility of 54,600 SF on 3.85 acres in the Manufacturing Core, designed for production and distribution at scale. Two 27,300 SF bays, each with its own dock-high loading and a glazed corner office storefront, give a single user room to run parallel production lines.

The entire building is committed to Fornidos Home Systems, which will make the district its regional base for producing panelized building components: framing, insulation, windows, doors, and interior finishes assembled in a controlled setting before they reach a home site. ARCO is the design-build team. Construction starts in the first quarter of 2027, with delivery in the fourth quarter.

Up to two additional acres of fenced, lit yard or parking adjoin the site, which is zoned K Unrestricted and permits outside storage. First movers in Gateway South benefit from property tax abatement, Foreign Trade Zone status, Missouri Works, and New Markets Tax Credits.
