Construction starts on 60,000-square-foot facility for national building supply distributor

Construction has started on a new, nearly 60,000-square-foot facility for ABC Supply in Charlotte County. 

The building, which will include a 53,200-square-foot warehouse and 6,700 square feet of office space, will sit on 6 acres at the Charlotte County Park of Commerce, next to the Punta Gorda Airport.

Seagate Development Group, which is building the 59,900-square-foot facility, says crews have started working and will focus for the next month on the slab and site work. That’ll be followed by getting the metal building up over the next six months and, finally, the interior will be built out.

The building is scheduled to be finished early next year. When done, 2.5 acres will remain for future growth.

ABC Supply is based in Beloit, Wisconsin. The wholesale distributor of building supplies was founded in 1982 and has 15,000 employees working at 800 locations, including more than 40 in Florida. Sales in 2020 topped $12.1 billion.

The company specializes in roofing supplies as well as exterior and interior building products.
