Our Q3 Industrial Market Reports are now available for all five core markets we specialize in: East Hialeah, West Hialeah, Allapattah, Opa-Locka, and Golden Glades.
These aren’t generic summaries, we live and breathe these areas. We track every sale and every lease and we try to build trusted relationships with every owner and every investor who believes in these submarkets as much as we do. If it moves, we know about it.
While each submarket has its own personality and attracts different types of owner-users and investors, they’re all being shaped by the same macroeconomic forces. That’s why, every quarter, we team up with two of the smartest minds in the industry:
- Juan Arias – National Director of Industrial Analytics, CoStar Group
- Anthony Graziano – Chairman & CEO, Integra Realty Resources
Together, we break down what’s actually moving Miami’s industrial market—pricing, vacancy, absorption, capital flows, and where deals are getting done. These guys live in the data (not the headlines), and their insights anchor our Quarterly Market Reports so owners can cut through the noise and make decisions with confidence.
🎙️ Listen to the podcast to hear the full breakdown, then dive into the reports for the numbers behind the narrative.
Macro Snapshot: A Market in Transition
- Lease rates are flat or declining—especially for 100,000+ SF big-bay warehouses that were heavily overbuilt.
- Port traffic and container pricing are down, softening large-scale logistics demand. Demand for consumer products is slowing.
- Vacancy has risen to 6% countywide, and spaces are taking longer to lease than in previous years.
- Small-bay (10K–15K SF) remains resilient due to local user demand.
- Sub-50K SF product will hold value—there’s almost no new supply being built, and demand remains high.
Bottom line: This isn’t a crash—it’s a normalization. The big-box party is cooling off, but infill, small-bay, and sub-50K SF assets are still performing.
