Northeast Florida
Daytona Beach
industrial.
The one place in Florida where I-4 meets I-95, and the eastern end of the truck parking build.
Asset class and buyer list / Florida
Volusia County holds a genuinely unusual piece of geography: the eastern terminus of I-4 and its junction with I-95. Freight moving between the Orlando corridor and the east coast passes through here, and that crossing is the reason Daytona has an industrial base larger than its population would suggest.
The rest of the demand is local and steady. Ormond Beach carries real manufacturing, Port Orange and the south county carry the trades, the Speedway and the aviation programmes at Embry-Riddle generate their own specialist demand, and residential growth keeps pulling contractors behind it.

The infrastructure

- I-4Its eastern terminus is here, and it carries most of the state’s consumer goods.
- I-95The east coast spine, crossing I-4 in this county and nowhere else.
- US-92 / US-1The old spines through the city and up and down the coast.
- Daytona Beach InternationalCargo and one of the largest aviation training clusters in the country.
- FEC RailwayThe main line through the coastal cities.
- The truck parking buildVolusia holds part of the first phase of the 917 new I-4 spaces.

How we work outside the tri-county
Phil is straight about this, because a broker who claims every market is telling you something about himself. Inside Broward, Miami-Dade and Palm Beach he is a local market expert and he walks the sites. Outside the tri-county, what you are hiring is the asset class and the buyer list.
On IOS, truck parking, RV and boat storage and small bay, the buyer pool is national and it does not care which county you are in. That pool, and the way this product is actually priced, is what we bring to Daytona Beach.
What he will never do is describe asset-class depth as though it were a closing on your street. See what the firm has actually closed.
Straight answers
Questions owners actually ask
Geography that cannot be copied. I-4 ends here and crosses I-95, so freight between the Orlando corridor and the entire east coast passes through this county. Add land that is still available at a fraction of Orlando pricing and you have the argument. The federal truck parking money landing partly in Volusia is confirmation, not coincidence.
There is real industrial. Ormond Beach carries manufacturing and one of the strongest industrial parks in the region, Daytona Beach International supports an aviation maintenance and training cluster, and the interstate crossing supports distribution. Tourism is the visible economy; it is not the whole one.
On usable and unencumbered acreage, on what the zoning permits you to store and stack, on ground condition and drainage, and on access and turning. Not on building square footage. That is the pricing error we see most often on this product, and it usually costs the seller.
