Since 2014, Polk County / East Plant City Market has been on an unstoppable industrial roll! We’re talking about a colossal addition of 7,958,276 square feet of premier industrial space on sizes between 250,000 SF and 499,000 SF, spread across 21 modern facilities, each one averaging an immense 378,966 square feet. These aren’t just buildings; they’re beacons of business and industry!

The momentum peaked notably in 2019 and 2022, our banner years with 6 and 4 buildings constructed, respectively. These years didn't just add square footage; they expanded our capacity for innovation and growth.

Witness the progress with us as Central Florida continues to set the benchmark for industrial development!

Since 2014, the industrial landscape of Polk County / East Plant City Market has seen a total amount of 37 new buildings, each ranging from 100,000 to 249,000 SF. But there's more to these structures than their impressive footprints – it's all about the clear height!

Clear height is the vertical canvas for businesses, allowing them to store more, operate efficiently, and utilize advanced equipment. It's the difference between a crowded storage room and an expansive warehouse where opportunities, quite literally, have room to rise.

Among these towering achievements, our highest flier is the 60' clear height, constructed in 2020 specifically for Amazon Air Cargo – setting a new benchmark for industrial ambition of Polk County.

The most popular heights? Buildings with a clear height of 30' lead the pack with 15 structures (40%), followed closely by 32' heights with 11 (30%). The remaining 11 buildings (30%) showcase a variety of heights, proving that our industrial spaces are as diverse as the businesses they serve.

New office lease signed on South Florida Ave, but I bet you won't guess what happen a week before lease signing!

After months of negotiation with both parties, all the terms have been agreed to, we were waiting on both parties to sign the lease. I'm on my way to the airport for a vacation, and a vendor sends me this photo https://loom.ly/8lrWz3M. An ambulance responding to a call crashed into the building, thankfully no one was in the back and the crew left with only a few injuries. Fortunately, the Landlord was fantastic and both parties agreed to still move forward as planned.

There's no average deal, but this one was special!

Thanks to and for a solid deal put together!
