Three Tampa Bay Firms Join Forces On Bradenton Construction Project

The Law Office of Lavely & Whyte P.A. has contracted Holland Construction to build its new corporate headquarters on Manatee Avenue East in Manatee County. The plans for the 4,000-square-foot office space will be designed by architect team Moore2Design.

"The new building will really command a presence in this area near downtown Bradenton,'' says Craig Campbell, vice president for Holland Construction's Florida office. "Designed with a Mediterranean architectural style, the building will contain a very prominent clock tower, ensuring the building's visibility."

Holland was chosen due to a longstanding relationship between Attorney Steve Lavely and Campbell. "I have known and worked with Craig for years, and am confident that he will bring his in-depth expertise and knowledge to our project,'' says Lavely.

The construction company expects to break ground this spring, with completion planned for the fall. Work will be sub-contracted locally during the six-month construction phase.

Holland Construction, previously Hostetter Construction, has an office in Sarasota and is based in Hanover, PA.

Moore2Design is based in Palmetto in Manatee County and is comprised of husband-and-wife team Jon and Victoria Moore. The company's portfolio spans several industries, and features local buildings, such as the Evolve Wellness Center and Day Spa in Palmetto and the Countryside Christian Church in Clearwater.

Lavely & White has offices in Bradenton, Sarasota and St. Petersburg. Four employees of the firm are expected to move into the new offices upon completion of the project.
