The site is irregular in size and does not lend <br />itself well to a single building development. The proposed Wheeler hardware building <br />would be in the rear or western portion of the site. <br /> <br />RJ. Ryan Construction, Inc., is acquiring the site with the assistance of Colliers Towle Real <br />Estate and will design and construct a facility which will eventually be sold to Wheeler <br />Hardware. The building will be 152' x 232' for a total size of 35,264 s.f. It will house 5,000 <br />sJ. of their corporate offices. The remaining area will be warehouse and production <br />facilities. <br /> <br />Wheeler Hardware is a major supplier of doors, hardware, and specialty items to <br />commercial contractors throughout the Twin Cities. The company has been in business <br />50 years. They currently employ 26 people at 2 locations in the Twin Cities. After they <br />consolidate to the new facility in Roseville, they expect to employ 32 people. The facility <br />will receive incoming material 2 times per week in full size trucks. Outgoing products will <br />be sent on delivery trucks 2 - 3 times per day. <br /> <br />An Equal Opportunity Employer <br />
