The Bobcat Treasure Coast project is a commercial equipment dealership facility on Florida's Treasure Coast — the type of commercial-industrial building that combines a customer-facing showroom and retail frontage with a service and operations area behind. American Commercial Glass installed the commercial glazing package — storefront and entry systems at the customer-facing portions of the facility and appropriate commercial glazing at the service and operations areas. Florida Treasure Coast WBDR requirements applied throughout, and ACG specified Florida Product Approval-documented impact systems where the code required.

Bobcat Company sells compact construction equipment and outdoor power products through a network of independently owned dealer locations across the United States. A Bobcat dealer facility is a commercial-industrial building type that combines a customer showroom and retail area with a service bay for equipment repair and maintenance. The showroom requires commercial storefront glazing with a quality and transparency appropriate for a retail environment; the service bays require personnel entry systems and safety glazing appropriate for an industrial shop setting.
The Treasure Coast Bobcat location is on Florida's east coast — in St. Lucie, Martin, or Indian River County, all of which are Florida WBDR coastal jurisdictions. Equipment dealership buildings of this type are single-story commercial structures subject to Florida's coastal impact glazing requirements. ACG installed the commercial glazing package at the Treasure Coast Bobcat facility, providing FPA-documented impact storefront at the showroom frontage and appropriate entry systems at all personnel entry points.
Commercial-industrial facilities have a different glazing mix than pure retail or office buildings: the showroom area requires large clear glass panels for vehicle and equipment display, while service and operations areas require durable, low-maintenance glazing at personnel entries and any clerestory or overhead glazed openings. ACG specified the appropriate product types for each area of the facility within the FPA impact compliance framework.
Technical highlights of the Bobcat Treasure Coast glazing scope:
Commercial equipment dealership construction schedules are driven by the dealer's opening date and franchise commitments with the manufacturer. ACG coordinated the Treasure Coast Bobcat glazing installation with the GC's construction schedule to support the facility's opening target.
Commercial-industrial buildings on the Treasure Coast are served by ACG's West Palm Beach headquarters and Naples operations network, and the Treasure Coast location falls within ACG's standard service area for both preconstruction support and field installation.
Bobcat Company is a manufacturer of compact construction equipment and outdoor power products, selling through independently owned dealer locations. ACG installed the commercial glazing package at a Bobcat dealer facility on Florida's Treasure Coast.
Commercial equipment dealership facilities typically use large-panel storefront at the showroom elevation for equipment display visibility, commercial entry systems at the customer entry, and durable service-grade glazing at service bay personnel entries. Florida WBDR coastal locations require FPA-documented impact systems throughout.
Florida's Treasure Coast encompasses Martin, St. Lucie, and Indian River counties on the state's southeast Atlantic coast. All three counties are Florida WBDR coastal jurisdictions requiring impact glazing with Florida Product Approval on commercial exterior openings.
Yes. American Commercial Glass installs commercial glazing packages on commercial-industrial buildings — dealerships, service facilities, warehouses with office fronts, and similar building types — throughout Florida. Commercial-industrial glazing includes showroom storefront, service entry systems, and any glazed elements appropriate to the building's program.
St. Lucie, Martin, and Indian River counties are Florida WBDR coastal jurisdictions. All exterior commercial glazing in these counties must carry Florida Product Approval per ASTM E1886/E1996, rated to the calculated design pressure for the specific site's exposure category and building height. ACG confirms site-specific design pressures and FPA coverage for each Treasure Coast commercial project.
