Edwards Wins $1 Mil Job at Ginn's $2 Bil Resort

ORLANDO-Edwards Construction Services Inc. has won a $1.1 million design-build contract from the Ginn Cos. of Palm Coast, FL to erect an 18,600-sf golf maintenance building at the 2,500-acre, $2 billion Reunion Resort & Club, just south of Walt Disney World’s 30,000-acre empire in northwest Osceola County, 25 miles south of Downtown Orlando.

The golf structure is currently in for permitting and is expected to break ground by the end of the month, Ron Smith, Edwards’ vice president Ron Smith, tells GlobeSt.com. Completion of the seven-month job is scheduled for July. The site is on County Road 532, southeast of Interstate 4.

The pre-engineered structure will house 4,000 sf of office for the golf maintenance support staff; a mezzanine for storage; 1,200 sf for equipment service areas; and a chemical storage building. The maintenance building will service three 18-hole championship courses designed separately by golf professionals Tom Watson, Arnold Palmer and Jack Nicklaus.
