San Felasco Tech City: A Sustainable Vision Becomes Reality

In the heart of Florida, just south of Alachua, lies a groundbreaking development that epitomizes the fusion of innovation and sustainability. San Felasco Tech City, an ambitious project conceived by Mitch Glaeser and Richard Blaser of The Laser Investment Group, is not just another real estate venture; it’s a visionary step towards a greener, more technologically advanced future.

At its core, San Felasco Tech City is more than just a place to live and work; it’s a community designed to harmonize with the environment while embracing cutting-edge technology. The grand opening of the first phase of this 82-acre development marks a significant milestone in the realization of this vision.

The inaugural phase features two expansive 30,000 square foot commercial structures powered primarily by solar energy. A striking sight awaits visitors and employees as they approach the buildings: five towering 22 foot red solar trees, adorned with round solar panels that not only contribute to the community’s energy needs but also illuminate the outdoor spaces with eco-friendly lighting.

Among the pioneering tenants of San Felasco Tech City is Fracture, a company specializing in transferring images onto glass. With its move to the new location, Fracture is poised to meet the growing demand for its products and expand its workforce to accommodate up to 65 employees. Alongside Fracture, a cadre of tech startups and expanding businesses have found their new home in this innovative ecosystem.

Driving this sustainable endeavor forward is The Laser Investment Group’s commitment to renewable energy. Leveraging the USDA Rural Energy for America Program (REAP), the group secured a significant grant to offset power costs and accelerate the adoption of solar energy. This partnership underscores the pivotal role of public-private collaborations in advancing sustainability initiatives in rural areas.

Looking ahead, San Felasco Tech City is poised for further expansion and diversification. An Education Station day care and learning facility are underway, catering to the needs of the community’s families. Plans for residential construction and the development of a café at the entrance further underscore the holistic approach to community-building.

Central to the future phases of San Felasco Tech City is the integration of solar power into every facet of the development. Through initiatives like the REAP program, The Laser Investment Group aims to continue its mission of harnessing renewable energy to drive economic growth and environmental stewardship.

With a blend of visionary leadership, innovative design, and sustainable practices, San Felasco Tech City stands as a beacon of hope for communities seeking to chart a path towards a brighter, more sustainable future. As other regions look to emulate its success, one thing remains clear: the future is green, and it’s powered by the sun.
