• Uniland Development Co. has started construction on a 187,200-square-foot industrial warehouse at Port Manatee Logistics Center in Palmetto, Florida.

What Uniland Is Building Near SeaPort Manatee

Uniland Development Co., a commercial real estate firm based in Amherst, New York, has broken ground on Building 300 at Port Manatee Logistics Center in Palmetto, Florida. The warehouse is being developed at 11805 U.S. Highway 41 and will contain approximately 187,200 square feet of industrial space. The project represents the largest building within a planned three-building logistics campus near SeaPort Manatee. The development is strategically positioned to serve companies that rely on port access, regional distribution networks, and Florida's growing industrial market. Its location near SeaPort Manatee provides direct connectivity to maritime shipping routes and major transportation corridors across the state.

What the Project Means for the Local Industrial Market

The groundbreaking adds to a growing wave of industrial development throughout the Tampa Bay region as developers continue to respond to demand from logistics, manufacturing, and distribution users. Industrial properties near ports have become particularly attractive as companies seek to improve supply chain efficiency and shorten delivery times. Port Manatee has emerged as a key logistics hub on Florida's Gulf Coast, attracting warehouse and distribution projects that benefit from proximity to both shipping infrastructure and the state's expanding population base. The new facility is expected to provide modern warehouse space capable of supporting a variety of industrial users.

What Happens Next for the Development

Construction on Building 300 is now underway, with completion targeted for November. Once delivered, the warehouse will become the first major addition within the broader Port Manatee Logistics Center development and help establish the industrial park as a new destination for logistics and distribution operations in the region. As industrial demand remains active across Florida, projects located near major transportation assets such as ports, highways, and intermodal facilities continue to attract developer interest and tenant attention.
