Charlotte–Lee–Collier

Drake Ready Mix, a family-owned concrete mix company, has bought an industrial site in Fort Myers.

The 8.72-acre industrial property is at 8046/8050 Ironside Drive. The company paid $7 million.

The seller was Fort Myers Holding Company. The address for the holding company in Lee County property records and the state’s Division of Corporations database matches that of USA Mulch.

The Gator Road address for USA Mulch is about a mile from Drake’s new property.

Drake, a concrete ready-mix company, currently operates out of a 10-acre production facility in Fort Myers and has a fleet of more than 100 trucks working on residential and commercial projects in Lee, Collier, Hendry and Charlotte counties.

It was not immediately clear what it intends to use the property for.

Justin Thibaut and Alexis North of LSI Companies Inc. represented Fort Myers Holding in the sale. Drake was represented by Jim Boback of Boback Commercial Group.
