Developer targets starting date for 40-acre business park

FORT MYERS — Seagate Development Group is readying to break ground on a 35,000-square-foot facility for Rice Insulation & Glass.

The Lee-County-based materials supplier will be Seagate’s first tenant in its new business park at Alico Road and Interstate 75, a 40-acre complex, according to a statement.   

The free-standing building will include 3,000 square feet of office space for sales and management teams; a reception area with workstation; conference room; four oversized offices with 10 workstations; three standard offices; training and break rooms; and closets and restrooms. Additional space is reserved for a warehouse of insulation, glass, shower door and shelving materials.

Seagate also plans to build four high-dock doors and four grade-level doors as well as parking for up to 100 vehicles, the release states.

The Rice Insulation facility, part of a larger business park that will include other single-tenant office, flex and industrial buildings, is set to commence in April and be complete by October.

As always, we can’t wait to get started.”
