During the topping out ceremony, Coastal Construction recognized the men and women who have worked on the building to achieve this important milestone. A magnolia tree was raised to the top of the building to commemorate the topping out.
“Coastal is very proud to be building for the Related Group, one of our most valued clients. This is a landmark project in Tampa, and we are very excited to continue delivering high quality and safe work.” said Sean DeMartino Coastal Construction’s president of Central Florida.
