Melbourne Commercial Real Estate
The deepest commercial market on the Space Coast
Melbourne anchors the Space Coast economy — aerospace and defense, the airport's $72M expansion, the Ellis Road expansion (mid-2028), and the deepest commercial inventory in Brevard County across every property type. We work the entire Melbourne market: industrial in the airport district, office and medical along Babcock and Wickham, retail along US-1, and multifamily citywide.

Melbourne Submarkets
Melbourne is Brevard County's economic engine and the deepest commercial real estate market on the Space Coast. The city's industrial and office submarkets are pulled by L3Harris, Northrop Grumman, Embraer, and Melbourne International Airport's $72M terminal expansion. Retail and mixed-use demand follows population growth along US-1, Babcock Street, and the Eau Gallie Arts District. Investors find the deepest deal flow here across every property type.
Downtown / Eau Gallie
Historic mixed-use core with restaurants, restaurants, and infill development. Strong tenant demand for second-generation retail.
West Melbourne / Airport District
Industrial flex, last-mile logistics, and aerospace supplier space anchored by MLB and the Ellis Road expansion (2028).
Babcock Street Corridor
Mid-box retail, medical office, and quick-service restaurant pads serving south-Brevard population growth.
Suntree / Viera (north)
Suburban office, medical office, and Class A multifamily — the highest household incomes in the county.
US-1 Corridor
Legacy retail and small-bay industrial along the Indian River — redevelopment-friendly zoning in pockets.
Why Melbourne

Frequently Asked Questions
Where in Melbourne is commercial activity strongest?
Babcock Street, Wickham Road / Suntree, the Eau Gallie Arts District, and West Melbourne (airport district) for industrial. US-1 carries legacy retail and redevelopment plays.
What's the impact of MLB Airport's $72M expansion?
International service to Frankfurt, London, and Toronto has materially lifted hospitality, retail, and industrial demand in West Melbourne. The Ellis Road expansion (mid-2028) will open further industrial frontage.
How does Melbourne compare to Orlando for CRE investment?
Cap rates run wider, deal size is smaller (median ~$2M vs. Orlando's $5M+), and tenant credit is more local. The trade-off: lower entry pricing and stronger demand drivers (aerospace, airport, population growth) than typical Florida secondary markets.
