South Florida warehouse market
What's shaping warehouse space in Miami-Dade and Broward, and where the numbers come from.
What shapes warehouse demand
- Building age. A lot of South Florida's warehouse stock is older infill with lower clear heights, while newer buildings offer taller clear heights and more dock doors.
- Location. Space near the ports, the airport, and major highways like the Turnpike, I-75, and I-95 is in the highest demand.
- Hurricane code. New construction and door or roof replacements must meet High-Velocity Hurricane Zone standards, which adds cost.
- No more rent tax. Florida's sales tax on commercial rent ended for rental periods starting October 1, 2025, lowering occupancy costs for tenants.
