miami industrial real estate stats midyear 2016

Midway through 2016 and the industrial market continues to grow. Once again average lease rates have increased slightly to $9.41 per sq. ft. and the vacancy rate has decreased slightly to only 4.4%. In our opinion, many of the available industrial properties are either overpriced and/or have functional challenges.

The largest lease transaction of the past quarter was Pricemart’s new 330,000 sq. ft. warehouse space at Flagler Station in Medley. COFE Properties’ acquisition of the 167,000 sq. ft. Webster Business Park for $16M was the largest sales transaction. In addition, we understand that South Florida Logistics Center’s six buildings are under contract to be sold this summer.

Several outside forces have been recently affecting the thought process of key decision makers in regards to industrial real estate in Miami. These issues include the opening of the new Panama Canal; the United Kingdom’s exit (BREXIT) from the European Union; the upcoming U.S. presidential election as well as a pending recession. Although we do not yet know the final effects, each are surely being taken into consideration. In the meantime, folks seem more immediately concerned with their summertime vacation schedules and avoiding any direct hits from hurricanes.

Redlich Battles Against Sales Tax on Commercial Leases

As 2016 Chairman of the Commercial Alliance for Florida Realtors, Ed Redlich’s primary goal for the year will be to reduce or eliminate the sales tax on commercial lease agreements. “Our biggest goal is getting the state sales tax reduced on commercial leases. It’s not fair. A sales tax on property taxes is double taxation,” Mr. Redlich said.

“Did you know? Some warehouse buildings in the City of Doral are paying about $2.00 per sq. ft. in property taxes plus an additional $.14 cents per sq. ft. in Florida state sales tax on top of that. Example: a 10,000 sq. ft. building would pay $21,400 per year in property and sales taxes. This is exorbitant and double-taxation. Not fair!” – Ed Redlich
