Plescia Construction & Development is a commercial general contractor and construction management firm building in Doral — South Florida’s industrial and trade engine, wrapped around Miami International Airport. From the air-cargo and free-trade-zone logistics that move goods between the Americas to the warehouse and distribution market, the CityPlace Doral office scene, and a fast-growing business community, we build to the standard — and the strict Miami-Dade code — this market demands.
Commercial Construction in Doral
Doral is the logistics capital of South Florida. Its position beside Miami International Airport has made it the center of the region’s air-cargo, free-trade-zone, and import-export economy — and one of the largest industrial and warehouse markets in the state. Alongside it, CityPlace Doral and the city’s business parks have built a growing Class A office market; an international business community drives retail and hospitality; and the city’s golf resorts anchor a hospitality scene. Each of these asks something specific from a contractor, and we build to it.
Our Doral work spans the full range of commercial space:
- Industrial and logistics — warehouse, distribution, cold-storage, and free-trade-zone facilities near Miami International Airport.
- Office and mixed-use — Class A office and mixed-use at CityPlace Doral and across the business parks.
- Retail and restaurant — retail, dining, and storefront build-outs serving the city’s growing population.
- Hospitality — hotel and resort space serving the airport and golf markets.
- Healthcare and office — medical office and commercial office serving the city’s employers.
Neighborhoods We Serve
We work throughout Doral — the airport and free-trade-zone industrial corridors, Downtown Doral and CityPlace Doral, the NW 36th and 41st Street business corridors, and the city’s residential and commercial centers. Every project runs through the City of Doral building department.
Permitting and Code in Doral
As part of Miami-Dade County, Doral sits in the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone — the strictest part of the Florida Building Code — and its enormous industrial base brings its own code, fire-protection, and life-safety demands. Building here means designing for hurricane wind and the requirements of heavy logistics use, through the City of Doral.
Several requirements shape commercial work here:
- High-Velocity Hurricane Zone (HVHZ) — wind-load and missile-impact design govern the envelope, with products carrying Miami-Dade Notices of Acceptance (NOAs).
- Industrial code and life-safety — warehouse, distribution, and cold-storage buildings bring fire-protection, loading, and occupancy requirements that shape the work.
- Stormwater and flood — Doral’s flat, low-lying terrain at the edge of the Everglades makes drainage, retention, and FEMA flood compliance central to site work.
- Airport-area coordination — proximity to Miami International Airport brings height, zoning, and operational considerations on many sites.
Designing for wind, use, and drainage from the start is what keeps a Doral project on schedule.
How We Manage Risk on Doral Projects
From an airport-area distribution building to a CityPlace office build-out, the same discipline applies: build to the HVHZ and the requirements of heavy commercial use, plan the logistics realistically, protect the businesses and tenants around the work, and keep life-safety systems live throughout. We coordinate deliveries, phasing, and inspections with owners, tenants, and the City of Doral, and we carry the insurance limits and trade relationships that Doral ownership expects.
Every job runs through a single point of accountability. Owners, tenants, the building department, and the design team work through one team that owns the schedule, the budget, and the safety plan — not a chain of subcontractors pointing at each other.
Representative Commercial Work
Plescia’s portfolio spans industrial, office, retail, and hospitality work of the kind Doral demands. While every market has its own specifics, the discipline is the same one we bring to projects across our Florida, New York, New Jersey, and Texas markets: realistic schedules, transparent budgets, and a finished space that performs. We’re glad to walk prospective Doral clients through relevant past work during an initial conversation.
