A local developer is building a new speculative warehouse at the site of two demolished hotels in St. Louis County.

Creve Coeur-based developer Bamboo Equity Partners is building a 76,500-square-foot warehouse called 270 Trade Center on 6.3 acres at 3655 and 3657 Pennridge Drive in Bridgeton.

Construction on the roughly $8 million project officially began last week and should finish by Aug. 1, said Dan Dokovic, managing principal of Bamboo. The general contractor is Edwardsville-based Contegra Construction, which has extensive experience building warehouses in other industrial parks across the region.
