Fort Collins Cold Storage Construction
TCG is the design-build general contractor for refrigerated, frozen, and food-processing facilities across Fort Collins and Northern Colorado, with self-performed IMP installation, the thermal envelope at the core of every cold build.
Cold Storage and Refrigerated Construction in Northern Colorado
Cold storage and food processing demand is climbing along the I-25 corridor as Northern Colorado's food, beverage, and distribution sectors grow. TCG builds refrigerated, frozen, and blast-freeze facilities, with the insulated envelope, vapor control, and floor systems that make or break a cold building.
The difference is that we self-perform IMP installation, over 1,000,000 SF across 38 states. The panel envelope is the single most important cold-storage scope, and controlling it in-house protects thermal performance, schedule, and cost. Read our cold storage IMP guide. TCG is headquartered in Denver.
What We Build for Cold Storage
Refrigerated Coolers
Above-freezing storage and processing for food, beverage, and distribution.
Freezer Facilities
Frozen storage with high-R envelopes, vapor control, and under-slab heating.
Blast Freeze
High-capacity blast freezing for food processing and cold-chain operations.
IMP Envelope
Self-performed insulated metal panel install engineered for thermal performance. Price it with the IMP estimator.
Food Processing
USDA and food-grade facilities with washdown finishes and controlled environments.
Cold Storage Conversions
Adding refrigerated or frozen space to existing warehouse and industrial shells.
Project Spotlight: Northern Colorado Cold Storage
TCG has delivered cold storage in Northern Colorado with a self-performed IMP envelope, refrigerated and frozen space engineered for thermal performance in the Front Range climate.
Because we install the panels ourselves, the most critical cold-storage scope stays under our control from design through commissioning. Get envelope pricing from the IMP estimator or a full budget from the AI estimator.
How Much Does Cold Storage Cost in Fort Collins?
Fort Collins cold storage runs at roughly a 1.10 to 1.20x national multiplier, and temperature class drives the number: coolers cost less than freezers, and blast freeze costs the most. See our cold storage cost guide and facility-type cost guide.
Cold Storage Construction FAQ
Coolers run about $140 to $240/SF, freezers $200 to $330/SF, and blast freeze $280 to $420/SF. Use the AI estimator for your facility.
Yes. We have installed over 1,000,000 SF of insulated metal panels across 38 states. The envelope is the most important cold-storage scope, and we keep it in-house. Price it with the IMP estimator.
Yes. We build coolers, freezers, and blast-freeze facilities with high-R envelopes, vapor barriers, and under-slab heating to prevent frost heave.
Yes. We build USDA and food-grade processing facilities with washdown finishes and controlled environments, often paired with refrigerated storage.
Yes. We convert and retrofit existing warehouse and industrial shells into refrigerated or frozen space. See adaptive reuse.
Typically 6 to 12 months depending on size and temperature class. Long-lead refrigeration equipment and the panel package are the main schedule drivers.
