Miami Industrial Real Estate Market Report 3rd Quarter 2018

 

The average vacancy rate decreased to 3.8% and the average lease rates have increased to $11.76 per sq. ft. Landlords continue to drive rates up while giving tenants fewer concessions. Over 5MM sq. ft. is under construction in Miami’s industrial real estate market, however the net absorption for this quarter was only about 200,000 sq. ft. The largest sales transaction this quarter was TA Realty’s acquisition of an industrial portfolio owned by Cofe Properties based here in Miami. Another smaller, but very significant deal was Badia Spices’ purchase of a class B+ warehouse building for $175 per sq. ft. It is these kinds of prices that are turning property owners into sellers.

Our team has been extremely active the past several months as you will read below. Please feel free to contact us if we can assist you with your commercial real estate needs. Thank you very much.

Companies Relocating to Florida!

A trend that Florida has been experiencing the past several years is that businesses from New York and Illinois are relocating to Florida. Quality of life, the weather and lifestyle choices are some of the main reasons. “Pay them in sunshine” as the old Florida saying goes. However, many businesses are making the economic decision to move to Florida because their states have higher taxes, more government regulations, crime and corruption.
