FRP Development Corp Plans 300k SF Logistics Center in Southwest Ranches

• FRP Development Corp has acquired a 24-acre site in Southwest Ranches for a new Class A industrial development.
• The project, Logistics Center at Southwest Ranches, will offer more than 300,000 square feet of warehouse and logistics space.
• Construction is expected to begin later this year, with completion targeted for 2028.

What the Logistics Center Will Include

FRP Development Corp is expanding its industrial footprint in South Florida with plans for Logistics Center at Southwest Ranches, a new Class A warehouse development on a 24-acre site at the intersection of Southwest 202nd Avenue and Sheridan Street. The project will be designed to accommodate more than 300,000 square feet of industrial space, targeting logistics operators, manufacturers, and regional distribution companies seeking modern facilities in one of South Florida's most supply-constrained industrial markets. According to the developer, the property was acquired through an off-market transaction after completing a more than two-and-a-half-year entitlement process, allowing the project to move forward following the necessary development approvals.

What the Development Offers Industrial Users

The logistics center will feature specifications commonly sought by today's warehouse tenants, including 36-foot clear ceiling heights, dock-high loading positions, trailer parking, large truck courts, and flexible warehouse layouts capable of accommodating a range of industrial users. The property's location provides immediate access to Interstate 75, U.S. Highway 27, and Interstate 595, creating efficient connections to Port Everglades, Port Miami, Miami International Airport, Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport, and the Florida East Coast Railway's intermodal network. These transportation links make the site attractive for companies serving customers throughout Miami-Dade, Broward, and Palm Beach counties.

What This Means for South Florida's Industrial Market

Industrial development opportunities have become increasingly limited across South Florida as available land continues to shrink and tenant demand remains strong. According to Mark Levy, Chief Investment Officer of FRP Development Corp, the company continues to focus on acquiring well-located infill sites where barriers to entry are high and demand consistently exceeds available inventory. Southwest Ranches offers both strategic regional access and limited competing industrial product, making it an attractive location for future warehouse users. The project also expands FRP's growing industrial portfolio, which includes developments in Davie, Lakeland, Minneola, Delray Beach, and New Jersey, reinforcing the company's long-term investment strategy in high-demand logistics markets.

What Happens Next

Construction is expected to begin later this year, with the logistics center scheduled for completion in 2028. Once delivered, the project will add much-needed Class A industrial space to one of the country's strongest logistics markets while supporting continued growth in regional distribution and manufacturing.
