Robins & Morton Celebrates Completion of First High-Bay Facility at Redstone Gateway
HUNTSVILLE, Ala. (July 29, 2025) – Construction firm Robins & Morton and COPT Defense Properties marked the completion of 9700 Advanced Gateway, a 50,000-square-foot high-bay facility located at Redstone Gateway, a mixed-use development along Rideout Road near Redstone Arsenal’s Gate 9.
The pre-engineered metal building is the first of its kind at Redstone Gateway and the closest available to Redstone Arsenal. The facility features a unique concept, allowing multiple tenants to have office space at the front and high-bay research and development areas in the remainder of the building. It also features the capability to dock a truck or drive directly into the high-bay space.
“We are proud to offer the first high-bay building at Redstone Gateway, which is 100% leased. Redstone Gateway as a whole is 98.4% leased, demonstrating that the demand for space closest to the commands on Redstone Arsenal is strong,” said James Lomax, Vice President of Asset Management & Leasing at COPT Defense Properties.
“The completion of this project marks the delivery of another state-of-the-art facility as part of our longstanding partnership with COPT Defense Properties,” said Nick James, Robins & Morton Project Manager. “We began serving our clients at Redstone Gateway in 2010, and we are excited for its continued growth.”
Robins & Morton served as the general contractor. Nola Van Peursem Architects was the architect.
