Southwest Florida. Five-unit speculative industrial building delivered as a single-occupancy “blank canvas” for high-yield tenant leasing. Rigid-frame PEMB structure with 90-foot clear-span bays, concrete masonry unit shell, single-slope standing-seam metal roof, and oversized overhead panel doors per unit.

Architectural focus:

• Single-occupancy delivery strategy. Bays maintained as one occupancy classification during construction to eliminate the need for interim fire barriers between units. Tenant fit-out determines whether wall assemblies upgrade to rated separations post-lease.

• PEMB-with-CMU hybrid structure. Pre-engineered metal building rigid steel frames, shop-fabricated and erected on site, paired with concrete masonry unit perimeter walls for impact and security. Type IIB unprotected, sprinklered. 90-foot rigid-frame spans for maximum interior flexibility.

• Single-slope roof envelope. Standing-seam metal roof with continuous metal flashing at concrete wet-deck and parapet conditions. Eave height and slope optimized for stormwater shed and overhead door clearances.

• Pre-construction tenant accommodation. Custom overhead door widths and slab thicknesses specified per bay as tenants signed during construction.

• Code documentation. Florida Building Code 7th Edition (2020) full occupancy analysis. Mixed Business (B) and Storage (S) classification, fire-resistance ratings, plumbing fixture counts, and life-safety legend coordinated across all five units.
