Investment Advisor · Industrial Storage Brokers
Phil Maisano
Industrial and storage real estate broker in Fort Lauderdale. Yards, warehouses, terminals and industrial land. No office, no retail, no residential, and no exceptions to that.
Phil has been in real estate since 2020 and has spent all of it in one lane. Sellers come to him with a truck yard, a small bay park, a distribution building or a piece of industrially zoned dirt, and the reason they come to a specialist is that none of those price like a house and the data that prices them is not public.
He runs his own files. The buyer outreach, the negotiation and the valuation are his, and the number on a broker opinion of value is one he concludes himself after standing on the site.
Since 2024
The closed properties are published with addresses and photographs rather than summarised as a figure, so you can check them. Industrial outdoor storage, RV and boat storage, warehouse, flex and land are all on that list.
What he works on
Six asset classes. A generalist prices a truck yard on building square footage and gets it wrong.
Industrial Outdoor Storage
Stabilised and value-add IOS yards. Truck, trailer, container and equipment storage, priced on usable acreage and permitted use.
Small Bay and Flex
Multi-tenant small bay and flex parks, the tightest asset class in South Florida.
Warehouse
Single-tenant and multi-tenant distribution and manufacturing buildings.
Truck Parking and Terminals
Terminals, cross-docks and permitted truck parking near port and highway infrastructure.
RV and Boat Storage
Covered and open RV and boat storage, existing and development ready.
Land Development
Industrially zoned land assemblage, entitlement guidance and disposition.
Coverage
Where he works
Broward, Miami-Dade and Palm Beach are the home market, and the office sits in Fort Lauderdale. Industrial work runs statewide from there: Tampa, Orlando, Jacksonville, Lakeland and Polk County, Ocala, Fort Myers and Southwest Florida, Port St. Lucie and the Treasure Coast, and Sarasota and Bradenton.
Every market page says plainly what the local knowledge is worth there and where the closings actually happened, rather than claiming the same depth everywhere.
How he prices a property
What lands in your inbox
- 01Sale comps from the last 24 monthsWhat comparable yards and buildings closed at, address by address, rather than what they were asking.
- 02Rent comps by acre and by footWhat a tenant pays in your submarket today, NNN, against your coverage and clear height.
- 03Zoning and permitted use readWhether your use is permitted, grandfathered or exposed. In Broward that answer is set by your city rather than the county.
- 04Who is bidding right nowThe funds, 1031 buyers and owner users active in your asset class this quarter, and what each of them pays for.
It costs nothing and it carries no obligation to list. If the honest answer is hold, that is the answer you get, and you keep the number and the comps either way.
