Miami, Doral included, is somewhat resilient in the face of some of the CRE trends that are taking place on a national scale. The city has faced and surpassed the test of time as it has evolved over the years and maintained its prominence in commercial real estate.
Doral Marketplace is an anomaly of sorts, as few developers are starting strictly retail projects with restaurants and service providers in South Florida. The development site is next to Chicago-based Bridge Industrial’s 2.6 million-square-foot Bridge Point project that’s under construction.
Artificial intelligence is expected to drive demand for data centers and is giving the world’s largest industrial property company tremendous confidence in future growth. Every time a warehouse is converted to a data center, Prologis pick up $500 a foot of value.
The flood of warehouse space in Miami has been met by steady demand for new facilities fueled by positive demographic growth and robust port activity, long-term trends that bode well for future growth.
Located in America’s Gateway Park, not far from Miami International Airport, the warehouse last sold for $4.8 million in 2015, so it more than tripled in value.
