Florida Project Spotlight
Retail Metal Building on Islamorada
This Spotlight features a retail metal building in The Florida Keys for the folks at Ocean Gardens. The project featured custom shaped windows on the gable ends to allow for as much light as possible inside the store and custom below eave canopies on the street facing sides.
Comfort and cooling costs dictated the use of high-r banding insulation in the roof which was left exposed for effect. Exposed HVAC ducting and custom nautical themed lighting add to the appeal of the interior. Custom finishes and quality interior buildout helped to make this project a stunning success.
Florida Project Spotlight
Commercial Steel Building Erecting
This Spotlight features a time-lapse video of the erecting of the Coppertail Brewery in Tampa. The 67′ x 179′ building with an eave height of 31′ easily provided space for brewing equipment, while meeting the wind load requirements of the Florida Building Code.
Partial walls for masonry and a trolley beam for a 4 ton crane add to the complexity of this project. High-r banding insulation help to minimize building cooling costs while providing a comfortable environment. Be sure to check out the building when you visit the Coppertail Brewery and enjoy some of the mastery of their craft!
The History of Punta Gorda
What’s in a name? In this case: “Fat” (Punta) and “Point” (Gorda), which accurately describes the shape of the point of land that jets out into Charlotte Harbor.
Punta Gorda was originally settled by Union Army veterans who homesteaded the area after the Civil War ended.
It was not until the Florida Southern Railroad made Punta Gorda its southern-most stop in 1886 that the land developers and tourists discovered the area.
Like many cities on the west coast of Florida, phosphate mining was a big part of Punta Gorda’s economic success in the late 19th century as it was a shipping point for phosphate mined just to the north.
Punta Gorda contributed to the WWII efforts with a U.S. Army airfield being used to train combat air pilots. After the war, developers laid out 55 miles of canals 100′ wide and 17′ deep and sold home sites to retirees and investors.
In 2004, Hurricane Charley moved through the area and devastated many homes, buildings, and much of the downtown waterfront. Rebuilding resulted in an opportunity to make improvements both to building codes and the local water front areas.
