TRANSPORT

JHC Companies completed the Pro Auto Transport facility in Portland, Oregon, delivering industrial construction and site improvements to support vehicle logistics and transportation operations. This project included warehouse upgrades, exterior yard development, and coordinated construction tailored to high-volume automotive transport needs.

Industrial facilities supporting vehicle transport operations require careful planning for circulation, staging, and storage. This project was designed to accommodate high volumes of vehicle movement, with durable exterior surfaces and efficient site layout to support daily logistics operations.

This is 10,200 SF pre-engineered steel metal building (PEMB) incorporates a CMU block veneer wall and an Insulated Metal Panel system. The interior includes a 4,460 SF office with a finished mezzanine level. The shop area houses a five-ton bridge crane system, a sky-jack lift system, and other hydraulic machinery. The site features over 120,000 SF of paved parking and staging areas, with entrance gates, a monument sign, perimeter fencing, and 14,000 SF+ of new landscaping with swales to divert all surface water to a collection pond.
