Clay Taylor, Realtor® and Sales Associate with Coldwell Banker Commercial Saunders Real Estate (CBCSRE), closed a $3M deal for 44+/- acres of prime industrial land in Lakeland, Polk County, Florida that become a strategic location for Lakeland’s sixth largest employer*, Rooms To Go (RTG).
The tracts were sold in August 2008 with plans to expand the RTG warehouse footprint by over 700,000 SF. The approximately $16 million expansion for one of the nation's leading furniture distributors will be the largest warehouse in Polk County.

The two parcels of land come with a rich history of farming, cattle, and direct family ownership for the Tanner family for over 67 years, with extended family ownership since around 1906. Jerry Tanner remarks, “To sell long-held family land can be emotional and complicated but Saunders Real Estate more than met our expectations and far exceeded them in many instances. We are very pleased.”

The new warehouse will help the Polk County economy by bringing in construction jobs and permanent employment for this new facility.
