Ring Power Corp. will move into a 90-acre, 375,000-square-foot new headquarters in northern St. Johns County, Fla., next month. The facility, a 25-minute drive south of downtown Jacksonville, has eight buildings, an 85,000-square-foot, four-story office building, and buildings for retail sales, a parts warehouse, an engine-testing facility, a spray and paint booth, a wash rack and a guard house, the Jacksonville Business Journal reported.

The cost of the facility is more than $65 million, Ring Power chairman and president Randy Ringhaver said. Adding to the construction costs were requirements for climate control in the 25,000-square-foot parts warehouse and the 8,000-square-foot engine rebuild center, where sophisticated computer equipment are sensitive to extremes in temperature and humidity.

Formerly based in Tampa, Ring Power is No. 27 on the RER 100.
