“South Florida Flower Carrier Grows Warehouse Space Just-In-Time for Valentine’s Day!!!”

ComReal Miami’s industrial real estate brokers, Stephen H. Smith, SIOR and Edward Redlich, SIOR, CCIM announce the warehouse expansion of their client, Armellini Express Lines, a specialized carrier of floral products (visit www.Armellini.com). Based in South Florida, Armellini is the largest carrier of floral products in the United States. Since 1945, they have specialized in the shipment of floral products in temperature controlled warehousing and transportation.

As some companies in the transportation industry reduce their size in an uncertain economy, Armellini acquires an additional 42,535 sq. ft. of warehouse space in Miami. This now gives them over 137,000 sq. ft. of warehouse space at the Miami International Distribution Center at 2003 NW 70th Avenue, Miami, Florida [MAP]. The 220,000 sq. ft. MIDC warehouse building is now 100% occupied by Armellini and several other tenants also in the perishables business. The expansion space was chosen to warehouse Armellini’s growing mass market production services, the property’s proximity to Miami International Airport and the cooler refrigeration units that were already existing in the warehouse space.

Stephen H. Smith, President of ComReal Miami, states that “Over 70% of the flowers imported into the United States enter through Miami. Armellini provides complete logistics services to the floral and other industries.”
