Cold Summit Development has the unique opportunity to be very discerning in our selection
of industry professionals we do business with. CSD has chosen to partner with Peak Design on all projects moving forward. This is a testament to Peak Design’s abilities and customer service. In our experience, there isn’t a more capable design team that can perform to the level that’s required to execute CSD projects. To give some context, our facilities offer unparalleled flexibility regarding temperature and operational design all while being built on a speculative basis. This flexibility offers tremendous value to our customers but also adds to the already complex nature of cold storage construction. Peak Design helps reduce this complexity by owning the design as well as coordination with our design build subcontractors and General Contractor all while in constant communication with CSD. This teamwork and collaboration by our partners make Cold Summit Development successful and has helped our facilities become the gold standard in the cold chain real estate industry.

Design and Construction of Cold Storage facilities are among the most complex type of
warehouses built today whether using static structural rack or fully automated. Correct thermal dynamic design to control the vapor barrier is paramount to the success of a cold storage facility. Of all the design disciplines associated with this asset class, Architectural design is the most critical. Only the best Builders and Architects out there understand this. Without a full understanding of how heat is transferred, engaging with an inexperienced Architect, will result in failure. Proper design with an experienced Architect that incorporates constructability while focusing on the vapor barrier is fundamental to building a state-of-the-art facility that will stand the test of time and that is why Peak Design Company is our trusted design partner
