Extended Florida market
Port St. Lucie
and the Treasure Coast.
Where South Florida overflows to. Two hours north of Miami, at a third of the land basis.
I-95 north / the firm has closed twice in Fort Pierce
St. Lucie, Martin and Indian River are the release valve on South Florida industrial. I-95 and the Turnpike run close together here, the land basis is a fraction of Broward’s, and the drive to Palm Beach is under an hour. Businesses that were priced out of the tri-county did not leave the state, they moved up the coast.
Fort Pierce carries the freight infrastructure. The Port of Fort Pierce and the Treasure Coast International Airport and Business Park give St. Lucie County something the rest of the Treasure Coast does not have, and the industrial land around them has been absorbing steadily.

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 twice in Fort Pierce. 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
Yes. Industrial Storage Brokers has closed twice in Fort Pierce. Phil answers this at the brokerage level, and he will name the closest closed deal by asset type and city rather than claim a market the firm has never worked.
Because the tri-county ran out. I-95 and the Turnpike both run through here, the drive to Palm Beach is under an hour, and the land basis is a fraction of Broward’s. Businesses that were priced out of South Florida did not leave Florida, they moved up the coast, and their landlords and buyers followed them.
It is priced on usable, unencumbered acreage, on permitted use, on ground condition and drainage, and on access and turning. A building on the site is treated as support. Phil sets the number himself and will not quote you a price before he has looked at the property. The valuation is free and carries no obligation to list.
