The developer with initiative of the Bougainvillea Project, located in Marathon Key, Florida, is FRP Technologies, Inc. of Jacksonville, Florida. An established builder with industry experience from their years of work in the crane, pre-stress, and fiberglass industries. Where they have participated in massive cement structure building projects throughout the United States. Utlizing land located on the Gulf with views of the Atlantic Ocean. Bougainvillea will include 14 luxury homes able to resist 200 mps winds.
"When we decided to develop the property, we would only proceed,
if we could go above and beyond industry standards. After the last season of hurricanes,
we wanted to build the best possible structures, and put the absolute best product out there.
The process of building with thick concrete structures just made sense to us. Even the glass
windows have wind resistance of up to 200MPH, without shutters. Until now, there was nothing
on the Island that could withstand 200 mph winds."

The Bougainvillea development is pretty impressive.
The entire state would be in a lot better shape, of course, if all new and old construction met that standard.
While this is a high end property. It is impressive and a great indicator that a builder would take it upon itself
to go above and beyond the required standards for a property. Despite the increase in building costs to meet 200 mph
wind capacity resistance. It is by far the most economical and safest way to go in the long run.
Especially for the home owner.
The Bougainvillea project is setting a precedence. I hope this is an idicator of more to come."
