Real estate investment company Freedom Real Estate & Capital has announced that Invariant Corporation and Torch Technologies will occupy two lease spaces at its newly-developed, 92,000 square foot multi-tenant building.

The development features a mix of office, research and development labs, light manufacturing, assembly, and integration space along with a high bay.

Invariant, an engineering, systems integration, and software development company founded in 2001 in Huntsville, is expanding into the new facility to support their company’s continued growth.

Invariant president David Anderson expressed his excitement in the company’s expansion into the new development.

“We are excited to grow and expand into this new facility that will provide our employees the resources needed to ensure quality services and products are delivered to our customers, and we are proud to be a part of Huntsville’s continuing success,” stated Anderson.

Torch, a 100% employee-owned services and solutions defense contractor, is adding a sixth location to their Huntsville headquarters with the occupation of this new space.

Torch president and CEO John Watson touted its partnership with Freedom and its success on past collaborations.

“This marks the third major development project that Freedom has completed for Torch in South Huntsville in the last six years,” said Watson. “All three have been instrumental in the continued growth of Torch. The Freedom Center serves as the central gathering hub for our more than 850 Huntsville-based employee-owners and their customers.”

He added, “TIPC provides the specialized space needed for our electrical, mechanical, optical, and robotic prototyping efforts, and this facility will provide the much-needed space for limited production of Torch-developed hardware.”

Bill Roark, co-founder of and CEO of Freedom, stated that he looks forward to see the city’s continued growth and expansion.

“We are happy to be part of the Huntsville community and are excited to be part of this rebirth of South Huntsville,” said Roark. “We are excited for our community’s continued growth and success to come.”
