The developer wanted to have control over product quality, cost and delivery, according to a spokesperson.
"In this business, on-time product delivery and customer service are top priorities," Colombo says. "I could ensure that by having a hand in the entire process."
After Hurricane Andrew struck in 1994, Glasswall was purchased and transformed from an installation company to a manufacturer to meet the growing market demand. Glasswall, a full-service company, manufactures and installs impact and non-impact glass products, which include sliding doors, railings, windows, shower doors and mirrors, which meet Miami-Dade's hurricane codes. The company provides hurricane-proof exterior glass that can withstand winds of up to 240 mph.
Colombo has developed prominent properties such as Santa Maria, Bristol Towers, Porto Vita and The Collection.
