Deli Star Corporation, an industry leader in cooked protein manufacturing and culinary innovation, has executed agreements to build out a new production facility in the Villa Lighting Building located at 3049 Chouteau Avenue in St. Louis, Missouri. The relocation and rebuilding efforts are the result of a fire that destroyed the company’s Fayetteville, Illinois, plant January 11, 2021.
Deli Star is working with DCM Group, Ficon Construction and Answers, Inc., all St. Louis-based companies, on site design, engineering and build-out for the 104,080 square-foot space. The company will build out in the existing LEED-certified structure for the fastest-to-market option to serve its customers. A majority of the space – 94,080 square feet – is dedicated for production. Approximately 10,000 square feet is office space on the second floor that is already complete and ready to move in. The rebuild is expected to be completed in early 2022.
