Saunders Yachtworks moves into $6 million Gulf Shores HQ - al.com: "GULF SHORES — Saunders Yachtworks has a lot to celebrate this month. Besides being the company's 50th anniversary and having recently being named Boatyard of the Year by the American Boat Builders and Repairers Association, it has moved into a new, $6 million headquarters on the Intracoastal Waterway's north shore.

Sandwiched between Jack Edwards Airport and the shipping channel on about 14.5 acres, the facility is the first of a three-phase development that will eventually include a 3-acre boatyard, a 12,000-square-foot shop and several acres where the company envisions a sort of campus of complementary businesses — from canvas makers to yacht brokers, insurers and fabricators."
