LowcountryBizSC: Frampton Construction completes work on industrial project in Ocala, Florida
Frampton Construction Company, LLC, a full-service construction firm providing planning and design support, preconstruction, and construction services, has finished work on a 456,540-square-foot Class A speculative industrial building in Ocala, Fla. Stonemont Financial Group, a privately held real estate investment firm, developed the project with US Capital Development, a real estate development company based in St. Louis, Mo.
Consisting of concrete tilt walls and a structural steel frame, the cross-dock facility has a 36-foot clear height with storefront office space located in the southeast, southwest, and northwest corners. The building features 95 dock doors, four drive-in doors, and 110 trailer parking spaces.
Alex Seglem, senior project manager at Frampton Construction, noted, “Topline Logistics Center is right in that sweet spot of central Florida where many e-commerce and logistics heavy-hitters want to be. We’re proud to have delivered an option ready to answer that need, and it’s even better that it’s ahead of schedule.”
The facility’s location, minutes from I-75, provides tenants with strategic interstate proximity. Thirty-five acres worth of sitework was performed in preparation for the half a million-square-foot facility.
HDA Architects completed the design for the building. Tillman and Associates served as the civil engineer on the project, and Alper Audi served as the structural engineer. Work on the site began in March of 2022 and was completed early in just twelve months.
Stonemont Financial Group is a private real estate firm founded on a simple strategy: to combine the experience and resources of a large institution with the creativity and flexibility of an entrepreneurial firm. As a diversified investment manager for public and private institutions and private capital clients, today they have over $2 billion in assets under management.
