Extended Florida market
Orlando
and Central Florida.
The middle of the I-4 corridor, and the place where Florida’s truck parking shortage is being spent on.
I-4 corridor / the firm has closed in Orlando, Eustis and Melbourne
Orlando is the hinge of Florida logistics. I-4 runs through it, and that road carries roughly 95 per cent of the state’s consumer goods according to the federal highway administration. Everything else, the Beacon of the Beachline out to Port Canaveral, the Turnpike, the Wekiva Parkway, feeds that one corridor.
It is also where the state is finally spending money on truck parking, which matters directly to anyone who owns land that can hold trucks.
On the record
The truck parking number, and where the money is going
Demand for truck parking in parts of Florida runs above 150 per cent of supply. On I-4 there are roughly 90 public spaces serving about 18,000 trucks a day.
In June 2026 the federal transportation department and FDOT broke ground on five truck parking expansion projects along the I-4 corridor, funded by a $180 million INFRA grant, adding 917 spaces. The first three sites are in Seminole and Volusia counties with completion scheduled within a year, and FDOT has said Osceola and Orange County projects start in 2027.
That is public capacity. It does not remove the private demand, and it tells you where the freight is queueing. If you own zoned, paved acreage anywhere near that corridor, it is worth knowing what it is worth.
Where the industrial actually is
- Airport South and TaftThe core distribution submarket, wrapped around Orlando International and the Beachline.
- Apopka and OcoeeNorthwest growth, the 429 corridor, and where new yard and flex product is going.
- Sanford and Seminole CountyOrlando Sanford International, older industrial, and the first of the new truck parking sites.
- Kissimmee and OsceolaSouthern growth off the Turnpike and US-192, and cheaper dirt than Orange County.
- Silver Star and 33rd StreetThe older infill industrial belt west of downtown. Small bay and service product.
- Winter Garden and the 429New warehouse and flex on the western beltway.
- Melbourne and the Space CoastAerospace, defence and manufacturing demand, with Port Canaveral behind it.
- Eustis and Lake CountyThe northwest edge. Service industrial, yard and land at a fraction of Orange County pricing.
- Daytona and VolusiaThe eastern end of I-4, and the other half of the new truck parking build.
The infrastructure
What sets value here
Industrial value is access. Every figure on this page is downstream of these six things.
- I-4The corridor that carries the great majority of the state’s consumer goods, and the reason Orlando is a logistics market at all.
- SR 528 BeachlineThe run east to Port Canaveral and the Space Coast.
- SR 429 / 417The western and eastern beltways, and where most new industrial has gone.
- TurnpikeSouth to Palm Beach and Broward, north to Ocala and Wildwood.
- MCOOrlando International air cargo, with Orlando Sanford International to the north.
- RailCSX serves Central Florida, with the inland intermodal terminal at Winter Haven in Polk County.

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.
Industrial Storage Brokers has closed in Orlando, in Eustis and in Melbourne. On IOS, truck parking, RV and boat storage and small bay, the buyer pool is national and does not care which county you are in. That pool is what we bring.
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
The demand signal is unusually clear here. Truck parking demand in parts of Florida runs above 150 per cent of supply, and I-4 has roughly 90 public spaces for about 18,000 trucks a day. The state is adding 917 public spaces along the corridor with federal money, which tells you where the freight queues rather than removing the private demand. If you hold zoned, paved, truck-capable acreage near that corridor, it is worth getting a real number on it.
Yes. Industrial Storage Brokers has closed in Orlando, in Eustis and in Melbourne. Phil answers this at the brokerage level, because that is how the shop is built, and he will name the closest closed deal by asset type and city rather than speak in generalities.
On a yard, the value is in usable acreage, permitted use, access and coverage. On a building it is clear height, power, loading and the rent roll. Phil sets every number himself and will not quote you a price over the phone before he has looked at the property. The valuation is free and there is no obligation to list.
