Initial Phase Underway Outside Kennedy Space Center
Site work has begun on Exploration Park, the high-tech research
and office park being developed by The Pizzuti Companies in
partnership with Space Florida. Tom Harmer, senior vice president
for The Pizzuti Companies, said the initial work includes clearing
the site, transporting fill dirt and initial site grading. Work on
this phase of the project is expected to take approximately eight
weeks to complete, Harmer said.
"We are thrilled to see the park making progress and look
forward to showcasing this unique offering to customers," noted
Space Florida President Frank DiBello.
"We're excited to begin this portion of the project and to take the
next steps toward creating a world-class office and technology
park," Harmer said. "We are actively engaged in discussions with a
number of potential tenants as we prepare the site for the start of
vertical construction."
Pizzuti is serving as Master Developer of Exploration Park in a
public/private partnership with Space Florida, the State's
aerospace economic development organization. Civil engineering
services are being provided by Jones Edmunds and Titusville-based
RUSH Construction is the project's general contractor. The fill
dirt being used to develop the first phase of the Park has been
donated by Port Canaveral as part of a cooperative agreement
between Space Florida and the Port.
Exploration Park's initial 60-acre phase, located just outside
the security gates at Kennedy Space Center, will accommodate
approximately 350,000 square feet in up to nine separate
LEED-certified buildings, expected to include educational, office,
research/lab space and flexible high-bay facilities. A second
139-acre phase has also been identified.
