In 25 years, Southport has come a long way. In the early days, Southport
focused on converting from a military base to a commercial site. Now
we continue to expand and innovate to promote continued growth at
Southport. Southport is proud to contribute significantly to the local
economy through a direct impact of $111 million of economic output, 570
jobs, $67 million in GDP and $33 million in income. We have had over
50 tenants during our 25 years, with many still here today. As a property
management and development company, Southport has diversified its
tenant base to include health administration, education and training,
manufacturing, addictions counseling, childcare, food services, and
support services for the military flight contract. Southport strives to ensure
that the facilities our tenants use fit their needs based on their unique
requirements. We are committed to providing quality customer service and
establishing a sense of community around Southport that will enrich the
experience of doing business with us.
