A late-night phone call. A confidential tenant. A 169-acre site in Bondurant, Iowa with an unusually aggressive timeline. As plans for "Project Bluejay" accelerated, Shive-Hattery helped clear hurdles, secure approvals, and advance critical infrastructure for the site’s future tenant: Amazon.

Perspective

Industrial companies are increasingly investing in facility modernization, automation, and infrastructure upgrades to improve operational efficiency, workforce retention, and long-term competitiveness. Organizations are also evaluating how technology and future growth plans impact facility design and capital investments.


Many industrial organizations are balancing aging facilities, increasing operational demands, workforce challenges, and rising construction costs. Leaders must make strategic capital planning decisions while maintaining productivity and minimizing operational disruptions.

CLC provides direct access to facility leaders and corporate real estate professionals who are actively responsible for improving workplace performance, industrial operational efficiency, and long-term facility strategy. The organization creates meaningful opportunities for collaboration and knowledge sharing among industry peers.


The partnership allows Shive-Hattery to engage directly with decision-makers facing complex facility challenges while sharing practical insights gained from working with industrial organizations throughout the country. It also helps us better understand emerging trends affecting manufacturing and corporate facility investments.
