Ethos completes site selection and relocation headquarters relocation for a specialized operation

Ethos Commercial Advisors was engaged by Bronto Skylift, the world’s premier manufacturer of truck-mounted aerial platforms for fire rescue and heavy-access industries, to identify and secure a new U.S. headquarters. The objective was to relocate operations from Orlando, Florida to a state-of-the-art facility in the Dallas–Fort Worth metroplex, closer to Bronto’s largest U.S. client and better positioned for long-term growth.

Ethos executed a comprehensive market search focused on highly specialized criteria: a minimum three-acre site, 30-foot clear height, 10-ton overhead crane capacity, and a fully concrete yard engineered to support 80,000+ lbs. vehicle loads.

Ethos identified a rare facility meeting all technical and operational requirements and negotiated a long-term lease featuring below-market rents, robust tenant improvement allowances, and future expansion rights. The result was a seamless, on-time relocation that delivered a fully optimized operational hub, enhancing efficiency, improving service delivery, and positioning Bronto Skylift for continued North American expansion.
