Tri-county core market
Broward
County.
The tightest industrial market in Florida, and the hardest one in the state to add supply to. It is also where we sit.
Home market / Industrial Storage Brokers is based in Fort Lauderdale
Broward is built out. The Everglades conservation boundary runs down the western edge of the county and it does not move, so the industrial land inventory is whatever was zoned decades ago. Everything since has been redevelopment, conversion and infill. That single fact explains Broward pricing better than any market report does.
It is also the reason a Broward yard behaves differently from a Broward building. Warehouse rent follows leasing demand. Yard value follows what the zoning still permits on ground that cannot be replaced.
Broward County industrial, Q2 2026
Published by Colliers. Figures describe the county building market and not any single property. Yard, outdoor storage and truck parking price separately.
What most people get wrong
Zoning here is a city question, not a county one
Broward has no countywide industrial zoning code. Fort Lauderdale, Pompano Beach, Davie, Oakland Park, Dania Beach and the unincorporated districts each write their own rules on outdoor storage, screening, truck parking and how much of a site may be paved and stacked.
Two yards a mile apart can carry completely different permitted uses. It is the first thing we check on a Broward site, and it is the thing out-of-market buyers get wrong most often. Permitted use is set by ordinance and by any overlay sitting on the parcel, so we read the governing city code for your address rather than answer from the zoning label.
Where the industrial actually is
- Pompano BeachCopans Road and the Andrews Avenue corridor. Older CBS bays, contractor yards and a deep small tenant base.
- Fort LauderdaleExecutive Airport, Cypress Creek and the Andrews corridor. Central Broward is the tightest zone in the county.
- Davie and unincorporatedGriffin Road, State Road 7 and Orange Drive. Where the county still holds yard-capable dirt.
- Oakland ParkSmall bay and flex serving the Fort Lauderdale trades. Almost no vacancy and almost no new supply.
- Dania Beach and the portPort Everglades and airport adjacency. Marine trades, freight forwarding and yard.
- Deerfield BeachHillsboro Boulevard and Green Road, hard against the Palm Beach county line.
- Hollywood and Pembroke ParkI-95 and Pembroke Road. Older warehouse and service product, steady owner-user demand.
- Sunrise and SawgrassFlex and light industrial off the Sawgrass Expressway, with Plantation and Tamarac behind it.
- MiramarMiramar Park of Commerce and the Miami-Dade overflow. The largest planned business park in the county.
The infrastructure
What sets value here
Industrial value is access. Every figure on this page is downstream of these six things.
- I-95The spine. Palm Beach to the north, Miami-Dade to the south, and the reason frontage prices the way it does.
- TurnpikeThe inland alternative to I-95 and the route north to Orlando.
- I-75 / SawgrassWestern Broward and the Alligator Alley run across the state to Naples and Fort Myers.
- Port EvergladesA deepwater seaport, a cruise port, and the fuel terminal that supplies most of South Florida.
- FLL airportFort Lauderdale-Hollywood International, and the service and freight market packed around it.
- FEC RailwayThe Florida East Coast main line, with its intermodal container transfer facility at Port Everglades.
What we sell here
Six asset classes, all of them local
- Industrial outdoor storage. Yards from roughly an acre of usable, unencumbered land up. Screening, paving and stacking rules are set by the city, so two comparable sites can price very differently.
- Small bay and flex. Units of roughly 1,200 to 15,000 SF. The tightest product in the county and the least likely to be replaced by anything new.
- Warehouse. Dock-high and grade-level, single and multi-tenant, from owner-user boxes to institutional product.
- Truck parking and terminals. Constrained here by city ordinance more than by available land.
- RV and boat storage. Real demand from the Intracoastal and the marine trades, and almost no purpose-built supply.
- Industrial land. Rare in Broward, and usually a redevelopment story rather than a raw site.

Straight answers
Questions owners actually ask
It depends on which market it is actually in. On a yard the value sits in usable acreage, permitted use and how much of the site can legally be paved and stored on. On a building it sits in clear height, power, loading and the rent roll. Phil sets every price himself after he has seen the site and the comparable closings, and he will give you a range before you commit to anything. The valuation is free and there is no obligation to list.
There is no single answer, because Broward has no countywide zoning code and every city writes its own. Pompano Beach, Fort Lauderdale, Davie, Dania Beach and the unincorporated districts each publish their own industrial districts and their own outdoor storage conditions. Permitted use is a legal question set by ordinance and by overlay, so we read the governing code for your parcel rather than guess from the district name.
No. A large share of industrial and storage trades never reaches a public listing site. If you would rather your tenants, your staff and your competitors not know the property is available, we take it to a named list of buyers who already own this asset class, quietly and under NDA where the property warrants it.
Because they are priced on different things. Industrial outdoor storage is valued on the dirt and on what the zoning permits you to do with it, and a small building on the site is treated as support rather than as the asset. In a county where no new industrial land is being created, correctly zoned paved acreage can and does outprice the structure on it. A generalist broker pricing that site on building square footage will get it wrong.
