Overlooking Lake Mirror in downtown Lakeland, the Summit Consulting Office Building & Garage is an 8-story, 135,000-square-foot Class A office development designed to serve as the Florida corporate headquarters for Summit Holdings / Great American Insurance Company. TRC Worldwide Engineering provided structural engineering design documents for this modern workspace, which is currently under construction.
Once completed, the facility will support Summit’s operations as a leading provider of workers’ compensation insurance across the southeastern United States. The building features a cast-in-place, post-tensioned concrete structure with a precast concrete architectural exterior wall system. The first four levels are dedicated to structured parking, while the upper four levels offer premium Class A office space with terrace areas providing scenic views.
The structural design incorporates 9-inch post-tensioned concrete floor slabs, conventionally reinforced concrete beams and columns, shallow and mat foundation elements, and vibro-replacement stone columns for soil strengthening, ensuring stability and long-term durability.
