Naples/Fort Myers/Charlotte 

Heart of glass: A Chilean glass processing company has bought land in Collier County and plans to build a $25 million, 100,000-square-foot processing plant. Dialum Glass brought the property just east of Arthrex Manufacturing in the Ave Maria planned community for $2.5 million, according to county records. This will be Dialum’s first U.S. finishing factory. According to developer Barron Collier Co., site preparation on the 10 acres has already begun, with a groundbreaking expected early next year. Dialum is expected to expand the facility by up to 80,000 square feet at a future date, says Barron Collier. In addition to manufacturing, the factory will also serve as a showroom for homeowners and window contractors to see the applications and make custom orders. Family-run Dialum was founded in 1987. According to the statement, it buys ready-made sheets of glass with different features from global suppliers and applies laminates and treatments. Its products include impact glass; fireproof and bulletproof glass; anti-slip and shower glass; lacquered glass; and privacy glass.

A taste of Miami: A 1.26-acre property in Cape Coral has sold and when built out will house a Vicky Bakery and other retail tenants. Lee County property records show the property at 602 Del Prado N. sold for $762,500. Mike Rivera, of Estero-based Saggio Realty and who represented the bakery, says the new construction will include a 3,000-square-foot space for Vicky’s and 3,600 square feet of inline retail space. The family-owned Vicky Bakery was founded in 1972 by Cuban refugees Antonio and Gelasia Cao in the Miami suburb of Hialeah. It is still family owned and, along with franchisees, operates 23 locations mostly in and around Miami and Fort Lauderdale. The Cape Coral location will be the company’s third in Southwest Florida. The other two are in Ave Maria and Fort Myers.
