ForgeFlex of Chelsea will build a flexible workspace and storage facility

Chelsea – Construction will begin in Chelsea this summer on a 42,000-square-foot flexible workspace and small bay industrial development from ForgeFlex of Chelsea.

The project, led by The Lauderdale Group of Vestavia Hills, will be located near the intersection of Shelby County 47 and Forest Oaks Drive, just outside Chelsea city limits. The $3 million to $4 million development is expected to include 40 units ranging from 600 to 1,600 square feet. Plans call for a mix of coworking areas, private offices and small-bay industrial spaces, along with warehouse areas and loading docks.

The concept intends to fill a gap between working from home and leasing larger commercial or warehouse properties, offering flexible space options for growing businesses. It will serve small businesses, contractors, entrepreneurs and remote workers who need a combination of workspace, storage and customer-facing space.

ForgeFlex is planning the concept as its flagstone project, hoping to build more in the greater Birmingham metro area and beyond.
