Overview:The Versailles Business Park development exemplifies Gulf State Companies' expertise in integrating commercial and residential planning into a cohesive, functional community. The project involved expanding an existing business park into a broader mixed-use development that included both commercial and high-end residential properties.

Project Background:Initially launched as a business-centric development, Versailles Business Park was envisioned to evolve into a nearly 1,200-acre master-planned community.
