MCPC

Rockford Construction partnered with MCPC, a technology logistics and data security firm, on the build-out of a new 51,000-sq.-ft. facility on the southeast side of Grand Rapids. The project, led in conjunction with Amplify GR — a nonprofit committed to strengthening neighborhoods in southeast Grand Rapids — helped mobilize the local economy and the Madison Square neighborhood. MCPC’s decision to locate in the area helped generate jobs for the community. Additionally, Rockford hired underrepresented local trade contractors during the construction process.

Significant environmental remediation efforts and thoughtful repurposing of materials were both key during construction. The Rockford team removed an existing 250,000-sq.-ft. building from the site to make way for the new warehouse and office space, recycling roughly 80% of the materials from demolition. This included more than 18,000 tons of crushed concrete – reused for the building pad and parking lot – along with 6,300 cubic yards of repurposed soils. Rockford successfully navigated long material lead times and unique site characteristics to deliver the project on time.
