Lansing to Convert Ft. Myers Industrial Park into Construction Supply Hub

In Fort Myers, Florida, a new opportunity arises for the development of a construction supply hub within an industrial park. Lansing Building Products, a wholesaler based in Richmond, Virginia, has recently established its presence in the area, signaling potential growth for the region's construction sector.

Lansing's Move and Recognition

Lansing Building Products secured a 66,017-square-foot space within the Suncoast Commerce Center, an 884,000-square-foot industrial site in Fort Myers. Lee & Associates represented the owner in the transaction, while Lansing was represented by Cushman & Wakefield Commercial Property Southwest Florida in the lease negotiations.

The significance of this deal has been recognized with a 2024 CoStar Impact Award for lease of the year for Southwest Florida. Judges highlighted the potential local impacts of Lansing's operations, acknowledging the company's role in driving growth despite challenges like hurricanes in recent years.
