Ball Ventures Ahlquist (BVA) and D&B Supply broke ground Sept. 13 on a new 109,000-square-foot D&B distribution center at North Ranch Business Park in Caldwell. D&B’s soon to-be largest retail store began construction at the North Ranch site in 2021. Now, just a few hundred yards away, another 109,000-square-foot project has begun with an anticipated completion date of Summer 2023. The distribution center’s design and location have been carefully planned to compliment the large retail store on site and provide “base of operations” for D&B into the foreseeable future, BVA stated on its website.

BVA’s in-house construction team will be the general contractor for the project.

“It has been a pleasure to work with such a respected and well-known Idaho-based company like D&B at our North Ranch project,” Tommy Ahlquist, CEO of BVA, stated. “Due to D&B’s involvement as a core anchor tenant, we are already seeing an explosion of interest and activity at North Ranch with no signs of slowing down.”

“We are proud to invest in the community we call home and build our new distribution center in Caldwell,” Brandt Ruzicka, vice president of operations for D&B Supply, stated. “With 109,000 square feet on 24 acres, this new facility will allow us to better serve our customers in Caldwell and the communities we are a part of throughout southern Idaho and eastern Oregon.”

North Ranch Business Park, situated along Highway 20/26 and Smeed Parkway, is optimal for light industrial users. Site highlights include D&B Supply’s largest retail store, a future gas station, bank, retail and office spaces.
