Charleston, S.C. – Frampton Construction Company, LLC, a full-service construction firm providing planning and design support, preconstruction, and construction services, has broken ground on Lakeland Commerce Center @ County Line in Lakeland, Fla. Totaling 905,440-square-feet, the project consists of four speculative industrial buildings on a 98-acre site. The park is being developed by Stonemont Financial Group, a privately held real estate investment firm.
Located on County Line Road with quick access to I-4, the park provides prime connectivity to Tampa, Lakeland, and Orlando. Household names like Home Depot, IKEA, and ACE Hardware are just a few of the large national brands that occupy distribution centers in the immediate vicinity.
