Chambers Construction is nearing completion on the new Yogi Tea manufacturing facility in Eugene. The CEO of Yogi shared that “the 180,000 square-foot facility will reunite the 114 employees in the Eugene-Springfield area under one roof.” The finished project will be 187,000 square feet and aims to become the first LEED-certified tea production facility in the nation.

Chambers recently completed construction of the latest expansion of the Glide, Oregon campus for Caddock Electronics, a R & D leader in performance resistors. The 30,000 square foot, single-story structure was designed to match the first two buildings built for Caddock. Due to the manufacturing and prototyping work conducted a Caddock, a sizeable electrical service was brought to the site in Glide. Through weekly job meetings with the design team, the project schedule, critical path dates for owner supplied equipment and quality control on building systems were kept in the forefront of everyone involved the project. The opening of the facility marks the latest return of high-wage jobs to Douglas County. Caddock is a family owned and operated business in a competitive industry. Their commitment to their staff and standards for this project’s expansion are evident throughout the completed building.

This phase included a series of architectural renderings, providing a sense of the scale and scope of the new facilities and what it will mean for Eugene/Springfield.

The Civic Project fills an important need for field, court and gym space for kids in our community.

Our involvement on projects like Civic Park is meaningful for all of us at Chambers Construction. Many of our staff are deeply rooted in this community and our children have participated in Kidsports leagues for many years.
​
We understand the need for facilities that deliver quality and long-term value and we look forward to helping Eugene Civic Alliance realize its vision.

A second Cash&Carry is coming to Eugene-Springfield. The grocer’s Portland-based owner announced Tuesday that it will open a Cash&Carry Smart Foodservice in late August at 3585 Gateway Street, near Interstate 5 and Randy Papé Beltline. The company already has a Cash&Carry in Eugene at 4214 W. Fifth Ave.

Geared to restaurants, the stores offer large quantities of produce, meats, deli and dairy products, frozen foods, beverages, catering and janitorial supplies, and tableware, according to the company. The retailer sells to other customers, including church groups, caterers and anyone else looking to purchase in bulk.

“We buy in volume at the best possible prices and pass those savings along to our customers,” John Mathews, vice president of sales and marketing, said in a press release.

The 23,000-square-foot Springfield store will be the 19th Cash&Carry in Oregon, according to its owner, Smart Foodservice. The company has more than 50 stores in Oregon, California, Idaho, Nevada and Washington.

Chambers Construction of Eugene is building the store by constructing a storage building and renovating the former Brattain International Trucks building near Gateway Street and International Way. The cost of the project is $3.2 million, according to City of Springfield building permits.

Construction workers were busy Tuesday at the new Cash&Carry, which faces Gateway Street.

Near the construction site a “coming soon” sign included the company’s slogan, “Where Restaurants Buy Better.”

Brattain International Trucks, which sells and services International big rigs, had leased the Gateway property but moved in 2014 to West First Avenue and South Bertelsen Road, said general manager Dave Mecheler.

Brattain owns the property in west Eugene, where it constructed a new building. The company also has dealerships in Bend, Albany, Salem and Portland.

The building will dwarf just about every industrial building constructed in Eugene during the past 10 years. The last industrial project to eclipse it in size was a 187,000-square-foot warehouse built in 2007 for Tualatin-based Lumber Products, according to Eugene permit and Lane County property records.
