Rodan Development Co. owns and develops Class A industrial and flex facilities for growing businesses across North Alabama. 350,000+ SF portfolio and expanding.
Rodan Development Co. is a Decatur, Alabama-based industrial real estate developer with a 350,000+ SF portfolio. We acquire, build, own, and operate high-quality commercial and industrial space for businesses across North Alabama.
Our flagship project, Summit Commercial Park, is a 30+ acre master-planned industrial and flex campus in the heart of Decatur, convenient to both I-65 and Hwy 20 — giving tenants the best of both worlds: a central location ideal for service-oriented users with direct access to the region's industrial corridor. We acquired the existing 100,000 SF campus vacant and leased it up to anchor tenants — including Patrick Industries (NASDAQ: PATK) and Five Star Breaktime Solutions, backed by Freeman Spogli & Co.
Today, the park is actively expanding with new light industrial buildings and build-to-suit projects, with capacity for 300,000+ SF of additional development. We offer light industrial space from 12,500 SF, future flex suites, and build-to-suit opportunities up to 200,000+ SF.
Every new building we have delivered at Summit has leased at or before completion — 716 Summit (2024), 718 Summit (2025), 722 Summit (2026) and a 10-year build-to-suit at 719 Summit (2026). 720 Summit is pre-leased ahead of its January 2027 completion, and a second 10-year build-to-suit at 717 Summit is under construction for April 2027.
