CEMEX, a global building materials company, announced today it is expected to deliver an estimated 55,000 cubic yards of ready-mix concrete to supply Phase One of The Plaza Coral Gables, the largest real estate development in the history of the City of Coral Gables.

The developers, Agave Ponce, LLC, broke ground on the 2.25 million square foot mixed-use project in September 2018. The entire Plaza Coral Gables project is estimated to cost $400 million. The development is planned to include offices, residential apartments, a hotel, retail and parking. Amenities will feature fitness centers, rooftop pools for residents and hotel guests, and ballroom and meeting space.

“The Plaza Coral Gables is a historical development, as it is the largest in the city’s history, which comes with a special responsibility,” said Kirk Light, CEMEX Regional President—Florida Region. “Known as the ‘City Beautiful’, Coral Gables maintains a traditional aesthetic that must be upheld with integrity in the building blocks of this mixed-use, landmark property. CEMEX is proud to supply high-quality materials from our strong Florida network that consists of two active cement plants, five distribution terminals, more than 20 aggregates facilities and nearly 80 ready-mix plants.”

Phase One of the project is expected to be completed by the end of 2020.
