FLORIDA HIGH-RISE PROJECT CONTINUES WITH ICON, INC. AND REWARD WALL SYSTEMS

    September 2001, Omaha, NE – Icon, Inc., headquartered in Omaha, has begun the ICF infill wall construction on the Waterside IV condominium building currently under construction in the Bay Beach area of Ft. Meyers, Florida. Waterside IV will be the fourth high-rise condominium building in an eight-building, multimillion dollar development at Waterside in Bay Beach, Florida.

    With more than 20 years in the commercial construction business, Robert Ambrose, Vice President of Ostego Bay Construction, has focused primarily on building condominiums using concrete block for the walls. In fact, the first two of the 11-story, 112,000 square foot buildings in the Waterside project were built with concrete block, but a shortage of masons in southwest Florida caused him to turn to ICF wall construction. Ambrose has high expectations for the construction and energy efficiency of this project, and says he is extremely optimistic that the Icon/Reward project will easily meet those expectations.

    “Icon's professionalism and knowledge of ICF construction is impressive,” he said, “and I feel they are key ingredients needed for Waterside IV and future projects. I'm very impressed with Icon's people and Reward ICFs, and I feel that these two things, along with Reward's remarkable support services are a great fit for us.”

    Ed Storm, President of Reward Wall Systems, Inc. agrees. “Obviously this is a significant project for us as a company. The success of this project will justify using ICF for these types of projects, and show once and for all that ICF can be used economically and cost-effectively.”

    Icon, Inc. was created to fill the need for large-scale commercial and residential ICF construction. Icon serves principally as a subcontractor for the installation of ICF walls on such projects and also provides ICF pre-construction services and general ICF consulting services. Icon's customers include architects, designers, engineers, general contractors, developers, and others who use or design with insulating concrete forms.
