A free, numbers-first guide for South Florida industrial owners — how your building's value actually gets built, this quarter's real Broward and Miami-Dade comps, and what moves your number. From a broker who owns warehouse property himself.
A straight, numbers-first answer for South Florida industrial owners — how your building's value gets built, what the market is doing right now, and what moves your number.
So most owners price the biggest asset they own from a number that's a few years old, a neighbor's story, or a gut feel — and find out what it was actually worth from the buyer.
Price too low and you leave real money on the table, on a sale you only get to make once. Price too high and the building sits while the serious buyers move on. And if a 1031 exchange or a business sale is riding on it, a wrong number turns into a missed deadline or a tax bill you meant to defer.
Know your real number first — how it's built, what today's market says, and what moves it — before anyone else puts a number on your building. That's exactly what this guide does.
How a warehouse actually gets valued — price per square foot, sale comps vs. lease comps, what NNN means, and how a lease changes what an investor will pay
This quarter's real numbers for Broward and Miami-Dade — vacancy, asking rents, absorption, and the actual sale comps by name and price per foot, sources named
Why Hialeah is the tightest industrial submarket in Miami-Dade right now, and what that means if you own there
The five things that move your number up or down — building specs, zoning and permitted use, tenancy, open permits and liens, financing conditions
Six mistakes owners make with their number, and what each one costs
Your four options once you know the number — sell, 1031 exchange, seller financing, or lease and hold — and how to think about each
The checklist of what to have ready before you ask anyone for a valuation
An online estimate can't tell you what a 1980s grade-level bay in Hialeah trades for versus a new dock-high logistics building in Hollywood. This can — because it's built from the reports and comps I read every quarter, not from an algorithm.

I'm an industrial real estate specialist in South Florida — warehouse owners, landlords, investors, buyers, and tenants across Broward and Miami-Dade. I track price per square foot, vacancy, and leasing comps the way most agents here track home prices, because that's the number your decision rides on. And I own and operate multi-unit warehouse property myself, leasing to my own tenants — so I know what a building really costs to run, not just what it lists for.
Licensed in South Florida since 2006, with more than 500 closed transactions — and today, a practice built on industrial and commercial property.
I pull current sale and lease comps for your specific building and submarket, walk you through them, and tell you straight where it lands — even if it isn't the number you hoped for.
Sell, lease, exchange, or hold — with pricing and terms that fit your timeline, your tenant situation, and what you want the deal to do for you.
Marketing to the right buyers or tenants, direct negotiation, and closing coordination — with permits, liens, and 1031 timing flagged early, not late.
A current, data-backed read on price per square foot for your specific property and submarket, and a pricing and terms strategy built from real comps, so you're not leaving money on the table or sitting.
The right buyer or tenant for your building, including serious investors and 1031-exchange buyers when it fits.
Including the creative structures most agents avoid, like seller financing and zoning or highest-and-best-use plays, when the deal calls for them.
Permits, liens, and title issues flagged and worked through before they can derail a deal.
If you're retiring or selling a business alongside the real estate, help thinking through timeline, personal property, and 1031 considerations as part of the sale.
Most agents in South Florida are residential-focused and don't track industrial fundamentals. I do — price per foot for rent and sale, vacancy, leasing dynamics, zoning, negotiation. And I own and operate the same kind of asset I sell. When the moment that matters most comes around once — retirement, a business exit, a 1031 — you want the person who understands your building's value from both sides of the table.
From "I think it's worth about…" to a number you can defend, a strategy that fits your timeline, and a process built to close clean — with someone who gives you the honest read, responds fast, and never pushes you into a deal that isn't right for you.
Broward — Hollywood, Hallandale Beach, Fort Lauderdale, Dania Beach, Davie, Plantation, Pompano Beach, West Park, Miramar, Sunrise, Coral Springs, Oakland Park, and Deerfield Beach.
Miami-Dade — North Miami, Miami Gardens, Opa-locka, Hialeah, Doral, Medley, Miami Lakes, South Miami, and Miami.

About 118.4 million square feet of industrial space. Vacancy 6.7% in Q2 2026, up from 5.2% a year earlier as a late-2025 supply wave delivered — yet asking rents hit a new high of $17.44/SF NNN, up 3.0% year-over-year, the fourth straight quarterly increase. Recent sales ran from roughly $268/SF in Pompano Beach to about $387/SF for Stirling Logistics Center in Hollywood — newer, larger buildings; older owner-user bays trade differently, which is exactly why a county average can mislead you.
About 285 million square feet. Vacancy 8.0%, up from 6.7% a year ago, with 3.9 million square feet still under construction — a real correction — while average rents held at $20.75/SF gross (up 1.5%) and the average sale price sits around $204/SF.
5.6% vacancy, the tightest of any major Miami-Dade industrial submarket, on a construction pipeline of only about 69,000 SF — and the most accessible rents in the county at $16.14/SF NNN. That tightness is structural, not a lucky quarter.
The airport corridor carries the highest asking rents in the county — proximity to cargo and the expressways is priced in, and it holds up even when county-wide vacancy rises. North Miami sits several dollars below it. If your building is inside that ring, pricing it off a county average understates it; just outside, it overstates it.
The same building is worth a different number in Hialeah than in Pompano Beach, leased than vacant, dock-high than grade-level. Knowing these submarkets quarter by quarter is how you avoid pricing off the wrong comp — in either direction.

"David conducted an evaluation of our commercial property for leasing purposes… He was able to lease our property in under 80 days. We're extremely satisfied with David's service and would definitely use him again."
Commercial owner and landlord · 2025"The property was sold and closed within 2 weeks: something unheard from me before. I highly recommend David to anyone looking for top level real estate services."
Commercial seller · 2023"David was extremely professional, and never made me feel pressured to take an offer… If you're looking for someone that is honest, and has your best interest at heart… Ask for David."
Jerry · Commercial landlord · 2026"I have moved from other state and was looking for a property in Florida… after the first deal he sure became my realtor. I have bought multiple properties."
Investor and repeat buyer · 2023A client who bought an 11,000 SF Dania Beach warehouse through me in 2020 called in 2026 to sell it — he'd outsourced production and didn't need the space. We priced it to current comps, negotiated the racks and shelving into the deal, and it went under contract in 9 days with 7 offers, closing 60 days later at $3,150,000 with a cash buyer.
Every one of these started the same way — an owner who didn't want to guess. That's the whole point of the guide, and of the conversation after it, if you ever want one.

I share South Florida industrial market reads — price per foot, vacancy, what's moving in Broward and Miami-Dade, and what it means for owners — plainly and without the hype. LinkedIn is where the deeper breakdowns live.
No — it's the guide, the same numbers I'd walk you through in person. If you ever want your specific number, you know where to find me.
No. The guide downloads instantly, I'll reach out once to make sure you got it, and you can unsubscribe from anything anytime.
That's exactly who it's for. Knowing your real number costs nothing, and the owners who exit well are the ones who knew it long before they listed.
Give it fifteen minutes and you'll know more about how your building's value gets built than most owners learn in a sale. I hope you find the information useful.
