The Fort Lauderdale-based real estate development and investment company anticipates a construction-start date within the next six months on several new buildings in the 300-acre development site at the west side of Southwest 196 Avenue between Sheridan Street and Stirling Road near US Hwy. 27 and Interstate 75.

"We've had several large users who would have taken space in the park, if we had the buildings available," Philip G. Saia, Bergeron vice president and general manager, tells GlobeSt.com. "We can do a variety of uses up to limited heavy industrial. The advantage of that is zoning allows for outdoor storage of equipment and materials, whereas most light industrial parks don't allow that."

Unlike most industrial developments, the Bergeron Park also is qualified under federal regulations to operate a foreign trade zone.
