Mericle created this program to ensure that companies interested in Northeastern Pennsylvania have a wide variety of buildings and fully- prepared sites from which to choose.<\/p>\n<p>Mericle is developing more than 90 ReadyToGo!\u2122 Sites on land it owns in 11 business parks in Luzerne and Lackawanna Counties. The sites range from 1.5 acres to 100+ acres and can accommodate companies needing from 5,000 square feet to more than 1 million square feet. Mericle has designed the sites to be attractive to manufacturers, distributors, medical professionals, and a variety of office and business services firms. Mericle has completed work on more than 40 of these ReadyToGo!\u2122 Sites.<\/p>\n<p>For its ReadyToGo!\u2122 Sites, Mericle obtains all permits and full subdivision, land development, and utility approvals. In most cases, all grading, including the placement of compacted stone sub-base in the building and pavement areas, is completed, and the parcels are made ready for the immediate construction of building foundations.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Once an agreement is signed, Mericle can begin construction almost immediately. In almost all cases, the building will be finished and ready for occupancy in just six to nine months.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Mericle has also developed dozens of speculative ReadyToGo!\u2122 Buildings on these sites. Mericle uses its own resources to prepare the sites and construct industrial, office, flex, and medical buildings. The company\u2019s in-house design team, engineers, heavy equipment operators, and construction employees all contribute to the effort.<\/p>\n<p>One of the biggest challenges large industrial users face is finding a building that matches their needs for ceiling height, loading doors, lighting, heating, and utility service. An equally important need is adequate, on-site trailer storage. Many industrial buildings owned by competing developers do not have enough trailer spaces on-site, which forces tenants to try to find nearby off-site locations for storage. Because Mericle\u2019s ReadyToGo!\u2122 Sites are cleared, graded, and compacted, they are well suited \u2013 and immediately ready \u2013 for trailer parking. Therefore, Mericle markets the sites as ReadyToGo!\u2122 Trailer Storage locations until such time that Mericle chooses to construct buildings on them.<\/p>\n<p>CenterPoint is the focal point for Mericle\u2019s ReadyToGo!\u2122 Program, a major investment in new speculative buildings and fully prepared sites. <a href=\"http:\/\/mericle.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Mericle<\/a> is preparing dozens of\u00a0ReadyToGo!\u2122 sites at CenterPoint Commerce &amp;\u00a0Trade Park East Phases IIA, IIB, and IIC and CenterPoint Commerce &amp; Trade Park West. Mericle intends to construct approximately 5 million square feet of industrial and flex buildings on these parcels with most being constructed on speculation.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.mericlereadytogo.com\/CenterPoint\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/10\/ReadyToGoSite.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.mericlereadytogo.com\/CenterPoint\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/10\/ReadyToGoSite.png\" alt=\"ReadyToGo!\u2122 Sites at CenterPoint, owned by Mericle\" width=\"940\" height=\"430\" \/><\/a>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row type=&#8221;in_container&#8221; full_screen_row_position=&#8221;middle&#8221; scene_position=&#8221;center&#8221; text_color=&#8221;dark&#8221; text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; overlay_strength=&#8221;0.3&#8243; shape_divider_position=&#8221;bottom&#8221;][vc_column column_padding=&#8221;no-extra-padding&#8221; column_padding_position=&#8221;all&#8221; background_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; background_hover_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; column_shadow=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_radius=&#8221;none&#8221; width=&#8221;1\/1&#8243; tablet_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; phone_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; column_border_width=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_style=&#8221;solid&#8221;][nectar_animated_title heading_tag=&#8221;h1&#8243; style=&#8221;color-strip-reveal&#8221; color=&#8221;Accent-Color&#8221; text=&#8221;ReadyToGo!\u2122&#8221;][divider line_type=&#8221;No Line&#8221;][vc_column_text]The ReadyToGo!\u2122 Program is a major&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-121","page","type-page","status-publish"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.6 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>ReadyToGo!\u2122 Sites at CenterPoint<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"ReadyToGo!\u2122 Sites at CenterPoint are sites ready for your construction.
