Kendra Scott Distribution Center – Austin, TX

1

Customized solution• KSD partnered with JLL’s tenant representation team to quickly identify suitable facilities that could service their

continued growth model. The partnership ultimately found, through the utilization of an in depth market review, a home at the Expo Industrial Park in Austin, TX. The land owner was in the midst of the developing a large concrete tilt wall warehouse space which would be delivered by the summer of 2015. KSD next engaged JLL’s project development team to put together a strategy to transform the shell delivered warehouse space into a fully functioning distribution center consisting of 13,000 SF of office space with the balance of 54,000 SF to include an integrated assembly line, product pick stations, high pile warehouse racking and the necessary dock equipment to service the growing demand. The space would include a fully conditioned warehouse/assembly area with LED lighting throughout and include an enough office space to accommodate the over 100 employees which would be actively working within the facility. The space would be consistent with KSD’s dedication to employee satisfaction including a fitness room, training center and the level of aesthetic appeal which would be found in a companies corporate headquarters. The space had to be operational before the 2015 Holiday Season.

Results• Kendra Scott was extremely pleased with the results of expanding the square footage of their distribution operation,

the location was ideal and the facilities aggressive project schedule was in line with their timeline guidelines. Starting with KSD’s engagement of the JLL PDS team occurring May of 2015, the programming, design development, procurement, implementation and closeout process last 7 months in total and resulted in a state of the art distribution center which will satisfy KSD’s immediate and future needs, all in time to manage the Holiday rush.

“That DC is over the top! It's not a DC, it's a Four Seasons!” –John Mooney, Director of Store Development, Kendra Scott Design, Inc.

• Kendra Scott Design, Inc (KSD), an Austin, TX based company, started their business in 2002. With significant growth, they immediately found themselves in a position where they could not keep up with demand. As their business grew from $1.7 Million in Revenue in 2010 to $24 Million in revenue for 2013, it was apparent that they needed to increase and upgrade their current distribution facility from a total square footage of roughly 15,000 SF to 67, 2000 SF.
