PLANS, DESCRIPTION: Sarasota's The Starling Group purchased the 61,100-square-foot former Gemesis industrial building in Lakewood Ranch Corporate Park for $1.8 million.
The price equated to $29 per square foot.
The building was vacant at the time of the sale. Half of the current building was built in 2002 and was expanded in 2008. The manufacturing facility features 10,805 square feet of office space including private offices, a reception area, conference room and clean rooms.
“I liked the location just down the street from other buildings I own,” says Fred Starling, owner of The Starling Group. “I also liked the size of the building. It's fully air-conditioned and included a 750 KW backup generator. We plan to reposition it to find a single tenant or even two tenants.”
