Why Small Bay Industrial Works for Landlords
Low Tenant Turnover Costs
Smaller suites mean faster re-leasing cycles with minimal downtime and limited build-out costs.
Strong Tenant Health Ratio
Small-bay tenants typically occupy essential services (construction, logistics, trades) with healthy rent coverage and local customer bases.
Lower Operating Expenses
These properties require modest capital expenditure compared to large-scale industrial or retail assets.
Diversified Income Stream
Multi-tenant properties reduce dependency on any single occupant, creating stable, consistent cash flow.
Why Florida? Why Now?
Florida is experiencing a demographic and economic tailwind that’s reshaping the demand for industrial space.
Population Growth
Florida is projected to add over 10 million people in the next 20 years. That growth drives demand for housing, infrastructure, and the trades and services that rely on small-bay space.
Land Constraints + Regulatory Hurdles
Infill industrial space is increasingly scarce. Zoning restrictions, high construction costs, and residential encroachment limit new supply, further enhancing the value of existing small-bay inventory.
Business Migration
Companies relocating from high-tax, high-regulation states are expanding Florida’s small-business ecosystem – fueling demand for flexible industrial space.
