Bridge Industrial Eyes Office-To-Warehouse Redevelopment In Doral

A longtime office park in Doral could soon be transformed into industrial space as Bridge Industrial looks to capitalize on the region’s growing demand for warehouses.

The Doral City Council is scheduled to review a rezoning request on Aug. 13 from BP Doral 826 LLC, an affiliate of Chicago-based Bridge Industrial. The company is seeking to rezone a 1.83-acre parcel at 7775–7785 NW 48th St. from “industrial commercial” to “industrial” zoning. The site is part of a larger 16-acre property that also includes 7705 NW 48th St., which Bridge Industrial purchased for $45.4 million in 2024.

The existing development includes eight office buildings totaling 202,680 square feet, all built in the 1970s. Positioned alongside the Palmetto Expressway (State Road 826), the redevelopment project has been named Bridge Point 826.

Bridge Industrial’s traffic study outlines two potential redevelopment scenarios:

• Option 1: Two warehouse buildings totaling 267,148 square feet, with 13,400 square feet of ancillary office space and roughly 200 parking spaces.
• Option 2: Two warehouse buildings with 245,059 square feet of warehouse space and 11,200 square feet of ancillary office space, along with preservation of an existing 6,617-square-foot medical office on the site’s southeast corner—currently home to a cardiology practice. This version would include approximately 190 parking spaces.

The study, conducted by Kimley-Horn, concluded that the proposed industrial use would generate fewer vehicle trips than the existing office complex. Bridge Industrial has not publicly commented on the project. The firm is working with land-use attorney Tracy R. Slavens and design firm Arcadis.

This proposal reflects a broader trend across Miami-Dade County, where aging suburban office parks are being repurposed to meet the surging demand for industrial space. While some developers opt to renovate older office properties or add multifamily elements to boost occupancy, others are choosing full-scale demolition in favor of logistics and warehouse facilities.
