Dover, NH In February 2023, DeStefano & Associates, Inc. (DAI) completed another warehouse addition on Mast Rd. to be occupied by Stonewall Kitchen.

The project team consisted of Summit Land Development, developer; JSN Associates, architect/engineer; and DAI Construction Manager.

The warehouse addition is 110,000 s/f with an eave height of 42 ft. pallet racking occupies 80% of the space and is spaced 6 ft. apart to accommodate a mobile robotic lift. Shipping and receiving includes 12 loading docks with air operated levelers and electronic dock restraints. Vehicles and vans can access inside the building up a ramp and thru an overhead door. The interior fit-up included restrooms, kitchen, break area and employee lockers.

The $10 million project started in March 2022 and was ready for rack delivery by early February 2023.

Early awards and constant monitoring of supply chain materials and equipment, along with top knotch subcontractors, enabled the project to meet the milestones and deadlines.

Stonewall Kitchen (SWK) is headquartered in York, ME. At that location, DAI designed and built production, warehouse and office facilities in 2000. DAI continued to service SWK in each of their York expansions including retail store, café, office addition, production improvements and warehouse expansion.

“Stonewall Kitchen started in 1991, selling handmade jams and jellies at local farmers’ markets, fairs and festivals. A passion for innovative recipes and flavors soon led them to expand to sauces, condiments, mustards, baking mixes, and more—all made with the same high-quality ingredients and painstaking attention to detail. Today their products are sold in more than 19,000 stores nationwide and internationally, including their 10 company stores.” – Stonewall Kitchen.
