What Bay to Bay Properties does

Bay to Bay Properties is a privately held commercial construction management firm headquartered in Safety Harbor, Florida, founded in 2003. The company operates as a general contractor serving enterprise developer, retail, and institutional clients across the Southeast US, with active licensing in Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Alabama, Virginia, and additional states. Revenue grew from $98M in 2024 to $130M in 2025, and the company ranks #19 on the Business Observer 2026 Top 50 Contractors list.

The firm concentrates on four specialized market segments: Fuel Station/C-Store (58 projects, ~40% of work), Self Storage (33 projects, ~25%), Car Wash (57 projects, ~25%), and Retail (239 projects, ~10%, with 80% negotiated share). Named enterprise clients include 7-Eleven, Circle K, QuikTrip, Wawa, Extra Space Storage, CubeSmart, BayCare, Walmart, Sprouts, Aldi, and Chase Bank. The operating model is process-driven, codified as 'The Bay to Bay Way,' and built on a decade of preconstruction drawing-scrubbing workflows, a No Change Order Guarantee, weekly reports, and quarterly cross-project Lesson Learned meetings. The company uses Procore as its construction management platform (since 2014) and applies AI-assisted shop drawing review for conflict detection during preconstruction.

Bay to Bay is owned by three Managing Members: Kate Rogers (COO), Joe Faw (Director of Business Development), and Jerome Cilento (Director of Estimating). The company has no disclosed external equity, no subsidiaries, and no M&A history; growth is self-funded through operating cash flow. Approximately 80% of business is negotiated rather than competitively bid, with a stated 2028 target of 90% negotiated/program work. The company has 51-100 employees with a strategic target of 80-90 by 2028.
