Highlights
The Ocean Aero project involved renovating an existing warehouse located on the East Pier at the Port of Gulfport. Delivered through a Design-Bid partnership, the project transformed the existing 61,000-square-foot metal building into Ocean Aero’s new headquarters.
The facility features office space for management and engineering teams, shop and fabrication areas, a shipping and receiving dock, dedicated storage and future expansion space, and a customer showcase featuring a full-scale model of Ocean Aero’s underwater and surface vehicle. Renovations included repairs to existing storm-damaged building components, roof patching, installation of 11 new rooftop units, and exterior improvements consisting of a hurricane-impact curtainwall system, insulated metal panels, structural steel elements, and a refreshed exterior façade with new paint and metal panel upgrades.
