It is Midyear 2014 and the Miami industrial real estate market remains strong. Even as new warehouse space is being delivered the vacancy rate decreased to 5.6% and absorption was a positive 1.2M sq. ft. for the 2nd quarter of this year. Landlords continue to push rent growth while prospective tenants are rushed to make decisions more quickly as activity increases.“Time kills all deals” as we often say in the real estate profession.
New developments are being encouraged in our market. CNL is developing Carrie Meek International Business Park adjacent to Opa Locka Airport. The project will total 1.7M sq. ft. on 122 acres. In addition, Bridge Point will be constructing Crossroads which will measure about 500,000 sq. ft in northwest Miami-Dade County.

South Florida Refrigerated Warehouses are Hot!
As you may know, the ComReal Miami Industrial Team’s specialty is refrigerated warehouse buildings. We have recently leased two significant refrigerated warehouses here in sunny South Florida. The first was a 64,000 sq. ft. cooler warehouse formerly occupied by Florida Beauty Flora, but has now been leased by Miami-Dade County for their food distribution. Read the details at Miami-Dade County Leases Cooler Warehouse in Doral. >>>
In July, we leased a 29,000 sq. ft. freezer/cooler warehouse space to Pagnifique from Uruguay. This warehouse was previously occupied by Blue Bell Ice Cream. Please read the story at Pagnifique Freezer Warehouse in South Florida. >>>
There is a good news article from the Miami Herald that is worth reading in regards to Building a fresh-produce gateway through South Florida ports. >>>
From South Broward to Miami-Dade there have been three new, deals involving warehouses with significant amounts of refrigeration. The ComReal team was involved in all three of these transactions. There are only six refrigerated warehouses left available right now in Miami-Dade County. ComReal has recently prepared a report summarizing these properties as well as the overall market. Please contact us anytime to receive a copy of this report. Thank you very much.
