Facility Returned in White-Box Condition Ready for Landlord Turnover

From May through November, our team completed the full decommissioning and white-boxing of the former Amscan / Party City distribution center in Chester, New York. The 878,460-square-foot facility was fully operational at project start, requiring a carefully sequenced approach to coordinate merchandise removal, asset recovery, and large-scale infrastructure decommissioning without disrupting ongoing operations.

The scope included removal of extensive pallet racking, pick modules, ASRS systems, conveyors, and multi-story mezzanines, along with all associated mechanical and electrical systems. The project required significant logistics coordination, including hundreds of outbound merchandise shipments, asset auctions, and buyer pickups, all managed through a phased, room-by-room execution plan. Dedicated workstreams and daily on-site safety leadership ensured crews worked efficiently without overlap while maintaining strict safety and schedule controls.

Sustainability and asset recovery were key components of the project. Equipment and materials were carefully inventoried, sold, reused, or recycled wherever possible, minimizing waste and maximizing asset value. Following decommissioning, the facility underwent final cleaning, floor scrubbing, and detailed inspections to prepare the space for turnover.

Delivered on schedule with zero safety incidents, the project successfully transformed a fully operational distribution center into a clean, white-box facility ready for immediate re-tenanting.
