Industry Vertical
Logistics & Distribution Real Estate
Florida's logistics corridor — JAXPORT, the I-4 spine through Lakeland and Orlando, and Tampa's port and rail — is one of the country's fastest-growing distribution markets. We help operators secure the right industrial space and we help investors build sector-focused industrial portfolios with credit-grade tenants.

For Operators & Tenants
Looking for Space?
Big-Box & Bulk Distribution Sites
100k–1M+ sf bulk distribution along I-4 (Lakeland, Polk County, Plant City), I-95 (Jacksonville), and Florida's Turnpike. Cross-dock, clear height, and trailer parking specs vetted up front.
Last-Mile & Infill Industrial
Last-mile sites near population density in Orlando, Tampa, Miami, and Jacksonville. We identify infill industrial that can hit your delivery-radius requirements without breaking pro forma.
Build-to-Suit Industrial
Land identification, entitlements, developer matchmaking, and pre-lease structuring for ground-up BTS — including freezer/cooler, e-commerce fulfillment, and 3PL specs.
Cold Storage & Specialty
Refrigerated and freezer space is structurally undersupplied in Florida. We source existing inventory, retrofit candidates, and BTS sites for cold-chain operators.
Multi-Site Footprint Strategy
For 3PLs and e-commerce operators standing up multi-city Florida coverage. One broker relationship, standardized criteria, parallel deals across markets.
Lease Negotiation for Industrial Tenants
Clear-height, dock-door, and trailer-parking carve-outs; expansion rights; rent caps; and exit flexibility. We've negotiated against the major industrial REITs and know where they bend.

For Investors
Building a Sector Portfolio?
Net-Leased Industrial NNN
Single-tenant industrial NNN with credit-grade logistics tenants — Amazon, FedEx, regional 3PLs, food distributors. Long-WALT, credit-rated cash flow.
Last-Mile Infill Acquisitions
Smaller infill industrial in dense markets where replacement is constrained. Strong rent-growth tailwind, structural e-commerce demand.
Big-Box Bulk Distribution
100k+ sf institutional industrial along I-4, I-75, I-95. Income, value-add, and forward-funded development opportunities.
Cold Storage & Specialty Industrial
Cold storage commands premium yields and faces structural undersupply. We source existing assets, retrofit deals, and ground-up cold-chain projects.
Sale-Leaseback for Logistics Operators
We structure sale-leasebacks for owner-operators with strong credit and long lease commitments — converting trapped equity into growth capital.
1031 Into Industrial
Move retail or multifamily equity into industrial NNN on a tax-deferred basis. We identify replacement properties that fit your 45/180-day windows.
