Blackadar Office Park

Harkins Development was awarded this Design/Build contract by Blackadar Insurance Agency owner Don Blackadar. Prior to approaching HDC, Mr. Blackadar had purchased the 2.5 acre site on Highway 427 and had previously invested funds into site engineering and architecture for a single use 10,000 SF building.

HDC realized the potential of the site was greater than a single 10,000 SF building, and business economics indicated a better site development use for multiple buildings. With Mr. Blackadar’s input, HDC oversaw the redesign of the site to include four independent single story buildings, totaling 14,000 SF of space. Mr. Blackadar’s insurance business has moved into the first of four recently completed buildings and now, assuming the role of a land developer, Mr. Blackadar has three additional completely developed building pads available. He can choose to either sell the three pads, or build office buildings in the future for lease to others, thus creating passive real estate income.

The 2.5 acre site has developed into a well designed and planned business park, capable of creating future real estate income for the owner.
