Covering about 1,250 acres between Interstate 95 and Village
Parkway with an I-95 exit at each end, the corridor is
bounded by Tradition Parkway (an extension of Gatlin Boulevard)
on the north and Becker Road near the Martin County
line on the south.
Long planned for Tradition, the commerce park recently
won a $3 million state grant to build an interior loop road,
giving the project a huge jump-start, the mayor says. It makes
100 acres available for about 1.1 million square feet of commercial
buildings.
NEW TENANT FOR 2019
City Electric Supply will be the first to move in after it
finishes construction of a 400,000-square-foot building on 41
acres, leaving 59 acres in the loop road area available to six
other companies. Construction of the first phase of the loop
road from Discovery Way to City Electric will begin in July
and end in December. The company will move its 222 existing
jobs now housed in five buildings in St. Lucie West and
create 50 more by July 2019.
As time goes on and more businesses move to the commerce
center and the adjacent bio-tech center, city officials
say up to 22,500 more jobs can be created to satisfy the needs
of the work-hungry city of more than 185,000. The city has an
unemployment rate of 4.7 percent — and while that’s good
news for the many who found jobs, it can also mean tough
