Fifty West, a Class A Office Building, is now open and available for leasing at 17011 East Highway 50 in the Plaza Collina Development Center of Clermont. Plans include for a complete retail, professional office and medical facility. This very convenient location is between the Toyota and Hyundai dealerships, which is less than 2 miles from the Florida Turnpike. They just celebrated with a grand opening party event to announce the special advantages and benefits of this new property.
Unique Cross Laminated Timber & Glass Construction: The Fifty West building is quite unique. This is the very first building in the Southeast United States that was constructed with Cross Laminated Timber. It was wrapped in glass offering magnificent views from all 4 sides. It will immediately give each tenant a high-end professional image. It is beautifully first class in every way including, architectural design, building materials, energy efficiency, security and property management.
Fifty West features state of the art design and construction and three levels of commercial Class A space by offering 7,988 square feet of first-level retail shops. The top two levels have been built with 15,938 square feet of professional office space with spacious 14-foot ceilings. Cross-laminated timber or CLT is part of the mass timber category of building framing styles, which is typically characterized by the use of large solid wood panels for wall, floor and roof construction. CLT consists of multiple layers of dimension lumber oriented at right angles to one another before they are glued to form structural panels with exceptional strength, dimensional stability and rigidity. CLT is often left exposed on the interior to leverage its unique aesthetic and create warm, welcoming and productive workplace environments. Customized LED lighting will showcase this building at night.
The Fifty West Realty, LLC. project is owned by the Kovatch Family Trust led by Thomas Kovatch, Keith Kovatch and Boris Khovitch. Jeff Powell of Powell Studio Architecture with George Schmid and John Schmid of Schmid Construction created and built this project. While there is still plenty of space to lease, they are already in negotiations for parts of all 3 floors. The first floor will feature an A-rated publicly traded tenant. The second floor will have a professional risk management company and the third floor will be home to a professional accounting and consulting firm.
