Bay Economic Development Alliance Becca Jardin
bay County continues to be an attractive location for new business. On June 13th, 2022, the Bay Economic Development Alliance (Bay EDA) announced another new company locating in Bay County. Resia, formerly known as AHS Residential, will be establishing a manufacturing operation in Bay County, Florida. Resia, headquartered in Miami, Florida, is an award-winning, vertically integrated real estate company that specializes in developing, building, and managing high-quality multifamily communities across the United States.
Resia has a property management team, a land acquisition division, and an in-house design and construction team that includes a full staff of architects, engineers, and project managers.
Based in South Florida, Resia currently has more than 5,000 units under development in fast-growing metros in Florida, Texas, and Georgia and has plans for Colorado, D.C., and Arizona. The company intends to deliver 8,000 new apartment units annually by 2025. A key to Resia’s accelerated growth is its modular construction approach, which enables the company to build apartment communities 30 to 40 percent faster than traditional methods.
“We are excited about opening our new operation in Bay County, Florida. Our construction method allows us to build quickly and achieve cost-savings that are passed on to our residents,” said Ernesto Lopes, President and CEO of Resia. “Our new facility will enable us to deliver on that mission while creating high-skilled jobs.”
For this manufacturing operation in Bay County, Resia will be building a 200,000 square foot, state-of-the-art facility to produce its modular components. The company will make a capital investment of more than $40M and will create 200 new jobs in Bay County.
As we welcome Resia into Bay County, CareerSource Gulf Coast will be recruiting talent to join this organization. Anyone interested in pursuing a career with Resia is encouraged to contact CareerSource at csjobs@careersourcegc.com.
