After calling Celebration Pointe home for more than six years, Infotech is selling its custom-built headquarters in Gainesville.
Infotech Marketing Officer Lacey Jones told The Sun in an email Thursday that many of the employees who worked from home during the COVID-19 pandemic have chosen to continue doing so, leaving the more than 65,000-square-foot building largely underutilized.
"Infotech will relocate to a smaller space still within our area. Infotech founders and executive leadership chose to put the building on the market because our three-story headquarters is not being fully utilized," she wrote.
Colliers' GNV Commercial Advisory Team was selected to represent the listing.
“We are honored to have been chosen to handle the disposition of this world-class asset. A building of this caliber, in this location, has never been offered on the open market in Alachua County," said Dan Drotos, senior vice president for Colliers, in a news release. "We are excited to showcase all that is has to offer and attract an equally impressive company to call it home.”
Infotech moved its operations to Celebration Pointe in 2017. Before that, it had been located inside the Florida Farm Bureau building since 1984.

Founded in 1977, Infotech originally offered infrastructure construction software solutions and statistical and econometric consulting services. Earlier this year, the company split into two seperate entities: Infotech Systems and Infotech Consulting. Infotech Consulting will now operate as its own company under the name McClave + Associates.
Jones said both businesses will continue to operate as normal until the building is sold.
Colliers touts the building's LEED gold certification, which it received in 2019. Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design, or LEED, is the world’s most widely used green building rating system, established by the U.S. Green Building Council.
Certification is awarded through a point-accumulation system in several categories, including sustainable sites, water efficiency, energy and atmosphere and indoor environmental quality.
The three-story building features solar power, a green roof, reserved parking for hybrid vehicles and bicycle storage and low-flow water fixtures.
