CELEBRATION POINTE 66 • SHOPPING CENTER BUSINESS • December 2017 World Report. In addition, Gainesville's Santa Fe College, previously one of the highest-ranked community colleges in the country, is now a four-year school. The area around the city is sprawling with residential growth largely due to its very strong academic and medical base, which gives the city economic stability. There are more than 280,000 people living in the Gainesville metro area, and a population of nearly 1 million within the 11 counties surrounding Gainesville. Gainesville has had steady population growth at nearly 2 percent per year since 2000. As an example of the change occurring in the Gainesville area, the University of Florida's Sid Martin Biotechnology Incu- bator, one of the leading biotech incuba- tors in the world, has been spawning a number of companies each year. These companies need office space, which is lacking in Gainesville, particularly space in a setting such as Celebration Pointe. CELEBRATION POINTE IS BORN Gainesville is not overrun with experi- ential, mixed-use campuses where every- thing is located in one well-planned loca- tion. Seeing this, Dyrkolbotn realized the site would be a fit for a mixed-use project, which he named Celebration Pointe. In late 2012, Dyrkolboton partnered with Ralph Conti, principal of Atlanta-ased RaCo Real Estate Advisors, to assist with the development. Conti and Dyrkolboton formed Celebration Pointe Development Partners to act as the exclusive develop- ment manager for Celebration Pointe A new, 140-room Hotel Indigo will be a major attraction to Celebration Pointe.
