# South Florida industrial market

A plain-English view of industrial real estate across Miami-Dade and Broward, built only from public government sources.

## What drives demand here

- **Trade.** PortMiami and Port Everglades each moved more than 1.1 million TEUs in fiscal year 2025. Miami International Airport ranked as the busiest U.S. airport for total freight in 2025, based on [preliminary Airports Council International rankings](https://news.miami-airport.com/soaring-cargo-growth-lifts-mia-to-1-in-the-us-3-in-the-world/).
- **Population.** A large, growing population needs last-mile warehouses close to where people live.
- **Limited land.** The Everglades and the coastline cap how far the industrial market can spread, so existing buildings stay valuable.
