HUNTSVILLE – To say things are going up at Redstone Gateway is putting it mildly.

Especially, in light of the most recent project at the sprawling Redstone Gateway.

Construction firm Robins & Morton and COPT Defense Properties marked the completion of 9700 Advanced Gateway, a 50,000-square-foot high-bay facility located at the mixed-use development along Rideout Road near Redstone Arsenal’s Gate 9.

“The completion of this project marks the delivery of another state-of-the-art facility as part of our longstanding partnership with COPT Defense Properties,” said Project Manager Nick James. “We began serving our clients at Redstone Gateway in 2010, and we are excited for its continued growth.”

The pre-engineered metal building is the first of its kind at Redstone Gateway and the closest available to Redstone Arsenal.

The facility features a unique concept with office space for multiple tenants at the front and high-bay research and development areas in the remainder of the building.

The building also allows trucks to dock or drive directly into the high-bay space.

“We are proud to offer the first high-bay building at Redstone Gateway, which is 100% leased,” said James Lomax, vice president of Asset Management & Leasing at COPT Defense Properties. “Redstone Gateway, as a whole is 98.4% leased, demonstrating that the demand for space closest to the commands on Redstone Arsenal is strong.

Robins & Morton served as the general contractor. Nola Van Peursem Architects was the architect.
