BZI, one of the leading steel and construction companies nationally known for transformative innovations in its industries, announced on July 2nd that its affiliate development company, BZI Innovation Park, LLC’s 820-acre industrial park and transportation hub, BZI Innovation Park, located near Cedar City, Utah, is open for business. The park is attracting tenants and bringing differentiated and sustainable transportation services to national and global companies. Community, government and business leaders gathered at the BZI Innovation Park on July 1st to celebrate the accomplishments and milestones. Attendees were impressed by the progress the park has made since it was announced less than two years ago with Utah Governor Spencer Cox.
BZI also announced that its affiliate rail transload company, RailSync, located within the park, has delivered more than 600 railcars since it began operations in 2023. RailSync’s performance has removed more than 2,500 inbound semi-truck loads from highways between Salt Lake City and Phoenix over the past two years. By shifting freight from road to rail, the company is reducing congestion, cutting emissions, and increasing efficiency for industries across the Mountain West.
The BZI Innovation Park is an important component of the Iron Springs Project Area and will soon be the site of BZI’s new corporate headquarters. The company is actively pursuing tenants from the technology industry, construction material manufacturing, advanced manufacturing, e-commerce, and distribution, as well as organisations needing office space. Additionally, plans include residential housing to be integrated.
“It’s impressive to see how quickly and effectively BZI has brought its vision to life—earning national recognition and creating real opportunities for Iron County, its businesses, and its residents,” said Ben Hart, Executive Director of the Utah Inland Port Authority. “From the park’s inception, I’ve seen firsthand how BZI’s leadership and execution are driving economic growth, improving quality of life, and strengthening global transportation access.”
Since its groundbreaking ceremony, BZI’s vision of attracting tenants with unique products and services has not only been recognised by customers, partners and the surrounding community. The park has received state and global awards of excellence from the One-Utah Summit and Inc.’s Best in Business.
“The BZI Innovation Park is illustrative of our purpose to bring high-value opportunities and build thriving communities, while delivering innovative products and exceptional services to our customers,” said James Barlow, CEO of BZI. “We are thrilled to share and celebrate our progress with our communities, see the operations come to life and welcome additional tenants to the park.”
The Nautilus One building, constructed by VISCO, was enthusiastically received by the Utah business community when it opened its doors as the first structure completed in the park. Its development and features showcase the processes and innovations that differentiate BZI and its technology R&D company, Innovatech®, from other construction companies.
VISCO, a BZI-affiliated general contractor, will be available to park tenants for build-to-suit contracting services, among others. “We are excited to showcase our unique capabilities in combination with the comprehensive offerings provided by the BZI Innovation Park,” said Ryan Obray, President, VISCO Construction. “We bring decades of combined experience across diverse areas of construction and real estate development to improve efficiency, reduce risks, and ensure each tenant who builds with us has a value-driven experience.”
The BZI Innovation Park is bringing unparalleled and sustainable offerings that will improve the processing of goods and products for national and global companies and is providing the surrounding area with increased access to an outstanding worldwide shipping network.
The BZI Innovation Park and RailSync are advantageously located only a day’s drive from population centres like LA, Denver, Phoenix, and Salt Lake City, providing access to a potential market of more than 48 million people.
BZI is now completing and executing major construction projects across the United States and is recognised as a leading provider of innovative construction solutions for companies known worldwide, as well as highlighted for its positive influence on local communities where it operates.
Exceptional client and operational performance by the company is attracting premier companies across the world and bringing these work sites and economic opportunities to states across the U.S. Top BZI customer industries include data centres, retail, manufacturing facilities for batteries, aerospace, energy, microchips, electric vehicles, and food and beverage.
