Multifamily
Small-to-mid-size multifamily — duplexes, fourplexes, eight-to-twenty-unit garden buildings, and infill workforce-housing properties. Cocoa Beach and Indian Harbour Beach trade beachside premiums; Melbourne workforce product underwrites the strongest.
Explore Multifamily →
Industrial & Warehouse
Warehouse, flex, and light-manufacturing buildings concentrated in West Melbourne, Cocoa SR-524, Titusville SR-405, and the Palm Bay industrial park. The sub-three-percent industrial vacancy rate and aerospace supply-chain demand have pushed pricing upward year over year.
Explore Industrial →
Commercial Land
Unimproved commercial parcels suited to retail, mixed-use, multifamily, and industrial development. Frontage parcels along I-95, SR-528, US-1, and SR-520 see the most institutional interest; infill parcels near new rooftop growth in Palm Bay and West Melbourne are favored by smaller developers.

Why the Space Coast
The Space Coast economy is anchored by aerospace and defense, the Kennedy Space Center launch cadence, the expanding Melbourne airport, Port Canaveral, and steady population growth. These drivers shape every sub-segment of commercial real estate demand.
Aerospace & Defense Cluster
L3Harris (global HQ in Melbourne, ~7,000 Brevard employees), Northrop Grumman, Embraer, SpaceX, Blue Origin, and the broader KSC contractor base anchor the region's industrial and office demand.
Kennedy Space Center & Cape Canaveral
America's busiest launch complex — NASA, the Space Force, and an expanding commercial launch industry sustain a deep, well-paid workforce within an hour of every Brevard submarket.
Melbourne Orlando International Airport
$72M terminal expansion completed in 2022; international service to Frankfurt, London, and Toronto. Anchors the West Melbourne industrial submarket and the surrounding flex / aerospace-supplier inventory.
Ellis Road Expansion (mid-2028)
Major roadway improvement opening new industrial frontage west of MLB Airport — already shaping development decisions in West Melbourne.
Port Canaveral
The fourth-busiest cruise port globally and a growing cargo terminal — drives cruise-passenger retail, hospitality, and last-mile logistics demand throughout central Brevard.
Population Growth
Brevard County added population every year for the past decade and is projected to keep growing 1.5–2% annually — Palm Bay leads on raw rooftops, Viera/Suntree leads on incomes.

Frequently Asked Questions
Where exactly is the Space Coast?
The Space Coast is Brevard County, Florida — a 70-mile barrier-island and mainland strip on Florida's Atlantic coast. It runs from Mims and Titusville in the north through Cocoa, Rockledge, Merritt Island, Cocoa Beach, Satellite Beach, Indian Harbour Beach, Melbourne, and Palm Bay in the south. Kennedy Space Center, Cape Canaveral, and Patrick Space Force Base anchor the region's identity.
What's driving Space Coast commercial real estate values?
Aerospace and defense employers (L3Harris, Northrop Grumman, SpaceX, Blue Origin, Embraer), the Melbourne airport's $72M terminal expansion, Port Canaveral cruise traffic, the planned Ellis Road expansion (mid-2028), and steady 1.5–2% annual population growth. Industrial vacancy has run below 3%, keeping rents and pricing firm.
How do Space Coast commercial cap rates compare to Orlando?
Cap rates on the Space Coast generally trade 25–75 basis points wider than directly-comparable Orlando product, reflecting smaller market depth. Beachside multifamily and stabilized retail in Melbourne/Suntree price tightest; mainland Cocoa, Titusville, and Palm Bay typically offer the widest cap rates for the same building age and tenant credit.
What's a typical deal size on the Space Coast?
Most active commercial inventory sits between $1M and $5M with a long tail up to ~$14M. Median building size is around 5,400 SF. The market is best suited to private investors, family offices, owner-users, and 1031 exchange buyers; institutional product over $20M is uncommon outside multifamily portfolios.
Does MaxLife Realty represent buyers and tenants on the Space Coast?
Yes. We represent buyers, sellers, tenants (tenant-rep), and landlords across Brevard County. Buyer- and tenant-rep engagements are typically paid by the listing side, so most engagements come at no out-of-pocket cost to the represented buyer or tenant.
