Granger Development has recently completed the assignment of managing the development for the new trucking terminal facility and local office for Florida Rock & Tank Lines in Pensacola. Being headquartered in Jacksonville, the logistics of personally overseeing the development of their new facility was going to make for a time-consuming and costly endeavor. Having Granger Development handle the process allowed Florida Rock & Tank to focus on their core business operations.
Granger Development’s main focus as a consultant was to tap in our development expertise to be the “boots on the ground” in coordinating a smooth, transparent process with the ultimate goal of delivering a first-class facility for Florida Rock & Tank in a timely and cost-effective manner.
In 2012, our company engaged Granger Development to assist us in locating a parcel of raw land and developing a replacement tanker truck terminal in the Pensacola area. The project was successfully completed in June of 2013. From start to finish, Granger Development provided professional, timely and expert service in the areas of land location, due diligence assistance and development/construction oversight. I would highly recommend Granger Development for any of your real estate and development needs in the Pensacola market. We could not have been more satisfied!
