JK2 Scenic Expansion
JK2 Scenic to more than double workshop, office space in Apopka
APOPKA, Fla. (Sept. 28, 2016) — JK2 Scenic, a full-service theming contractor, is more than doubling its workshop and office space in Apopka.
As part of the $1.5 million project, the division will add 13,150 square feet of manufacturing/fabrication space and 3,765 square feet of office space to its existing workshop facility at the Apopka Expressway Commerce Center. JK2 Scenic currently occupies 10,000 square feet of space.
“Since 2013, the Scenic Division has grown revenue by more than 900 percent,” said Paul Holmes, JK2’s founder and president. “It only makes sense that we expand our facility to match that phenomenal growth.”
JK2 Scenic is one of the divisions of the family owned company. The Scenic Division designs and builds themed architectural millwork, custom props and specialty items for major attractions and the entertainment, hospitality and restaurant industries.
The expansion will allow the division to streamline production work flow and increase production capacity, and it will position JK2 to capitalize and increase market share in the architectural millwork and theming industry.
The pre-engineered metal building will include a two-floor office area with an employee breakroom, training center, conference room, private offices and an elevator.
The building will have three-phrase power to run the specialty fabrication machinery JK2 uses to complete its projects. A new CNC machine will also be housed in the expanded facility, giving the division further capabilities to create specialty items for its clients.
The project is expected to be complete later this year. JK2 Construction, the other division of the company, will serve as general contractor for the project.
AH2 Group, which includes several JK2 principals, is the developer. The Apopka Expressway Commerce Center is located in northwest Apopka. The center has nine build lots remaining, ranging in size from 4,000 to 14,500 square feet.
