How Much Does It Cost to Build a 6,000 sqm Cold Chain Logistics Warehouse?

A 6,000 square meter cold chain logistics warehouse is typically used as a regional distribution hub for frozen foods, meat products, seafood, agricultural produce, and e-commerce cold chain logistics.

Project Scale and Storage Capacity

This project is calculated based on standard logistics warehouse parameters:

  • Cold storage area: 6,000 m²
  • Clear internal height: 7 meters
  • Total cold storage volume: approx. 42,000 m³

In logistics cold storage projects, a common industry benchmark is:

  • 1 ton of frozen or chilled goods ≈ 4–5 m³ of storage volume

Estimated Storage Capacity

  • 8,400 – 10,500 tons, depending on pallet density and racking layout
  • This capacity is suitable for:
  • Cold chain logistics centers
  • Large-scale food distribution
  • E-commerce fulfillment with temperature-controlled inventory

Construction Cost Overview

The construction cost of a cold chain logistics warehouse depends heavily on temperature zoning, partition design, insulation thickness, and refrigeration system selection.

For a project of this scale:

  • Insulation system:
    • Polyurethane sandwich panels (120–150 mm)
    • High-load insulated flooring suitable for forklifts
  • Refrigeration system:
    • Parallel screw compressor units
    • Ceiling-mounted or floor-standing air coolers
    • Designed for continuous high-load operation

Estimated Total Investment

  • USD 700,000 – 900,000

Energy Consumption & Operating Cost

For a logistics-scale cold storage warehouse, energy efficiency is critical.

  • Installed power: approx. 380–420 kW
  • Average daily electricity consumption:
    7,500 – 9,000 kWh

Energy-saving design and staged compressor operation can reduce power consumption by 15–20% compared with conventional systems.
