Creating a ‘ legacy ’ in Southern Grove
With site clearing complete and infrastructure well underway , the Sansone Group held the Legacy Park at Tradition groundbreaking ceremony in April 2021 . The well- attended event recognized not only the depth of family history with the Sansone Group , but the investment Sansone is making in Port St . Lucie . A 20-acre lake will serve as a backdrop to the entrance of Legacy Park and will serve as the City ’ s southern gateway at the northwest corner of Interstate 95 and Becker Road .
Tenants such as FedEx , will bring over 450 jobs to its Legacy Park sortation facility . Cheney Brothers , Inc ., will bring nearly 400 jobs to Port St . Lucie ; the southern end of Southern Grove is already living up to this area becoming a “ jobs corridor .” In addition , the initial phase of Legacy Park includes the construction of 2,300 feet of Anthony F . Sansone Sr . Blvd ., which extends north from Becker Road , as well as a separate 1,900-foot utility run extending east from Village Parkway . These improvements will support the future developments within the larger proposed business park .
Founded in 1957 and based out of St . Louis , Sansone is a commercial real estate firm specializing in management , brokerage and development of retail , industrial , office and residential properties . Its presence is seen in over 26 states , with over 24 million square feet of developed space and another 10 million square feet in the pipeline . The Sansone Group is looking to develop a Class A industrial park that will be known as Legacy Park at Tradition , consisting of 3.2 million square feet of building area in a phased approach . It will be responsible for all infrastructure development to serve each phase of the property .
