Suncoast Roofers Site | Broward County, Florida, USA | Client: Haydon-Rubin Development, Inc.

The Suncoast Roofers site is located in Pompano Beach, Florida.  The Suncoast Roofers site includes approximately 4 acres of land within the footprint of the North Broward County Dump.  The North Broward County Dump site consists of approximately 80 acres that were mined starting around 1960.  Portions of the excavated areas were reportedly backfilled with solid waste and septic sludge between 1960 and 1971. 

Suncoast Roofers purchased the site in September 2005 with the intention of constructing a commercial office and warehouse at the site.  The development consists of approximately 1.8 acres of paved parking area and 1.2 acres of building.
