Summarize the project's program, features, and achievements: The Florida International Tradeport Building 12 is part of a multi-building industrial complex. Seven (7) buildings have been completed by Seretta Construction, Inc. and two (2) are currently under contract. The building features various surface elevations on its external wall panel face.
