Description:

Impeccably maintained 89,254 SF refrigerated food processing facility located at 6 Downing Drive in Phenix City, Alabama, within the Greater Columbus, GA area. Built in 2007 and situated on a 16.29-acre site in the M-2 zoned Phenix Industrial Park, this turnkey plant offers immediate operational potential for high-volume poultry processing. The facility is equipped for deboning, mechanically separated chicken (MSC), and chicken paws production, with 71,580 SF of refrigerated space featuring insulated metal panel (IMP) walls, 16-foot walkable IMP ceilings, and sealed, sloped floors for sanitary operations.

Production infrastructure includes two ingredient and finished goods coolers, a refrigerated shipping vestibule, and ten dock-high doors to support efficient logistics. The property also boasts critical food-grade utilities, including a 15,000-pound ammonia refrigeration system, a Kemco sanitary hot water system, two low-pressure process boilers, DAF wastewater pretreatment capabilities, and two Quincy 100 HP air compressors with dryers. Security and functionality are further enhanced by fenced perimeters, gated access, external surveillance, and extensive staging and parking areas.

Currently staffed with approximately 150 tenured employees (including 100 on the first shift), the facility also benefits from conveyable supply contracts producing 1.8 million pounds per week of MSC and 600,000 pounds per week of chicken paws, with agreements extending through 2027. The plant is USDA, BRC-A, GMP, HACCP, and Halal certified, and detailed documentation—including an ALTA survey, utility analysis, equipment list, and CAD files—is available under NDA.

This strategic location offers excellent connectivity for logistics and business operations, while benefiting from the region’s pro-business climate. The surrounding area features a mix of industrial and commercial development, making it ideal for companies seeking space in a well-established, growth-oriented corridor.
