LifeStone Ministries wanted a new headquarters that would bring together its offices, retail, and wholesale operations to better support its mission. An undeveloped site offered room to bring these functions together, but township zoning, landscaping, parking, and ODOT access requirements presented unique challenges.

AVID worked closely with LifeStone and a trusted contractor partner to develop a practical, cost-conscious design that could be achieved on an accelerated schedule. A pre-engineered metal building (PEMB) could accommodated retail and wholesale needs, while custom modifications addressed township concerns. Separate shell and interior design packages allowed construction to begin while the team refined interior details with the owner.

Completed in spring 2026, the headquarters includes 19,735 SF of office space, 25,119 SF of retail floor, and 23,621 SF of wholesale storage. By uniting these key functions, the facility improves operational efficiency and supports LifeStone’s service to its community.
