Landings Real Estate Group is part of a joint venture with Hunt Development Group and DCK North America, known as Eglin Properties, LLC, that has been awarded a contract by the Department of Air Force for the design, development, financing, and construction of the Emerald Coast Technology and Research Center at the Eglin Air Force Base. This project involves the ground lease of approximately 98 acres of land adjacent to the Eglin West Main Gate. Anchored by the University of Florida's Research Education & Engineering Facility (REEF), the proposed development will include approximately 1.1 million square feet of class A office, technology, and research space supported by an education cluster of undergraduate and graduate level research and training facilities, complimented by student housing and a variety of amenities including a conference center with a nightly stay hotel facility, a health and wellness center, an extended stay hotel facility, a mid-scale restaurant, a child development center, and allocated space for an Okaloosa County EDC incubator project. This project is expected to begin in late 2009.
