Crissey. "We have built just about every product type in South Florida, however this project presents a unique opportunity to construct something that will serve as the urban core for this zone. Our team looks forward to delivering a successful project that will leave a memorable and lasting impression on the landscape."

Baker, ranked among Engineering News Record's "Top 3 Specialty Concrete Contractors" for the past 20 years, will be responsible for completing the foundation and the concrete shell of the buildings.

They're about our clients and owners. They're about the people who will use them. They're about the communities they are in. They're about more than just concrete."
