Commercial Build-Outs in Sunrise

About 20 minutes from our Fort Lauderdale base. Sawgrass International Corporate Park gives Sunrise a deep inventory of tilt-wall office and flex buildings, and the city reviews truck circulation and parking counts there with as much attention as it gives the interior scope.

What we are building in

The commercial stock in Sunrise

The corporate park is tilt-wall office, flex and distribution — mostly single-storey with high clear heights and minimal existing conditioned area. Retail concentrates around Sawgrass Mills, one of the largest outlet centres in the country, which operates on its own rules entirely.

The authority having jurisdiction

Permitting and review here

The City of Sunrise reviews commercial work. Inside the corporate park, a change of use within a flex bay can raise a site-plan question — parking counts, truck circulation, landscape buffers — before it ever reaches the building code. That is the sequencing surprise here.

What the ground and the structure do

Site and building conditions in Sunrise

Tilt-wall shells were built for a single tenant and very little conditioned floor area. Carving offices out of a bay means new HVAC, lighting redesigned to the current Florida energy code, and a demising wall with its own fire rating and its own separated exit. It is a mechanical and life-safety job with partitions attached.

Logistics

Access, loading and working hours

Dock-high loading everywhere and generous laydown space, which makes the corporate park one of the easiest places in Broward to run material. Sawgrass Mills is the exact opposite: barricade standards, night deliveries, centre operating rules and a fixed turnover date.

The case

Why owners in Sunrise call us

We build in buildings that are still open

Most commercial work here is not an empty shell. It is a floor above a working tenant, a suite next to a trading desk, or a dining room that has to serve on Friday. We phase, we work the hours the landlord allows, and we protect the path from the dock to your door.

A budget before you sign the lease

Send us the space and the landlord work letter before the LOI is final. We will price the build-out and name the assumptions, so you negotiate the tenant improvement allowance knowing the real number instead of finding it after you are committed.

Self-perform site engineering

Dewatering, support of excavation and deep foundations — including tidal sites — are done by our own crews, not brokered out. Very few Florida general contractors can say that. When a build-out turns into a structural or below-grade problem, it does not become somebody else’s schedule.

An institutional record behind the field team

Our leadership has delivered Hospital for Special Surgery’s FDR expansion, Emigrant Savings Bank fit-outs, the ADL tenant renovation in New York, and deep foundations at 1515 Surf Avenue. That is leadership experience, not a Romco Builders project list — and we will always say which is which.

FAQ

Questions from Sunrise

Do you take commercial work in Sunrise?
Yes. About 20 minutes from our Fort Lauderdale base. The City of Sunrise reviews commercial work. Inside the corporate park, a change of use within a flex bay can raise a site-plan question — parking counts, truck circulation, landscape buffers — before it ever reaches the building code. That is the sequencing surprise here.
Can you convert warehouse space to office in the corporate park?
Yes, and it is common work here. Expect it to be driven by mechanical, electrical and life safety rather than finishes, and expect the occupancy classification change to raise exiting, fire separation and parking questions. We settle those in preconstruction.
How is Sawgrass Mills work different?
It runs on the centre’s calendar, not yours. Barricades to their standard, deliveries overnight through the service corridors, protection of finished common areas, and a close-out package the centre must accept before you are permitted to trade.
Do you charge to look at a space and give us a number?
No. A walk-through and an order-of-magnitude budget on a Sunrise space you are considering costs you nothing — that conversation should not have an invoice attached. A full preconstruction engagement, with a line-item budget, a constructability log and a permitting map, is a priced scope of work, and we credit the fee against the construction contract if you build with us.
Can you work around the hours our business actually operates?
Yes, and in Sunrise it is usually the only way the job gets done. Phased construction, off-hours demolition, temporary partitions and a maintained path of egress are normal parts of our scope. Off-hours premiums are shown as their own line so you can see exactly what the phasing costs.
