Prologis bought the asset in 2010, in a $66.8 million portfolio deal from seller TA Realty, according to CommercialEdge.
Prologis Palmetto Tradeport allows easy access to State Route 27, Interstate 95, Florida’s Turnpike and Palmetto Expressway, while being 11 miles from Miami International Airport, 16 miles from PortMiami, 29 miles from Fort Lauderdale International Airport and within 31 miles of Fort Lauderdale, Fla.
Miami’s solid rent growth
According to a recent CommercialEdge report, Miami remained the priciest industrial market in the Southern U.S., with in-place rents at $10.69 per square foot as of December. Year-over-year rent growth in the metro stood at 9.8 percent—240 basis points above the national rate. Vacancy was at a healthy 4.4 percent, below the U.S.’ 4.6 percent.
Industrial real estate will likely remain a top-performing asset class this year, despite an anticipated slowdown. Construction starts will likely drop as capital costs remain high, while tenant demand will lead to more build-to-suits projects.
