How National Tenants Enter the Miami Market

Strategies and patterns observed from national companies expanding into South Florida industrial market.

National companies entering Miami follow distinct patterns. Understanding these approaches helps local operators prepare for increased competition.

Common Entry Patterns

National tenants typically enter Miami through one of three pathways: (1) acquiring local companies, (2) establishing regional distribution from scratch, or (3) partnering with 3PL providers for market testing.

Site Selection Priorities

  • Infrastructure access: Highway, port, and airport proximity
  • Building specifications: Modern facilities with high clear heights
  • Labor access: Workforce availability and wage rates
  • Growth potential: Submarket expansion capacity

Implications for Local Market

National tenant entry intensifies competition for quality space, drives lease rate increases, and elevates building specifications. Local operators should anticipate these dynamics in their long-term planning.
